Billy Joel: And So It Goes launches Tribeca with an electrifying, deeply personal portrait of one of New York’s greatest legends. Directors Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin weave rare, never-before-seen archival footage with candid, soul-baring interviews to chart Billy Joel’s meteoric rise—from humble Long Island roots to international superstardom. In Part 1, the film pulls back the curtain on Joel’s private world with unreleased performances, intimate home movies, and behind-the-scenes moments that have remained locked away until now. Featuring timeless anthems like “Piano Man,” “New York State of Mind,” and “Just the Way You Are,” this unprecedented chronicle celebrates the enduring genius of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and 23-time Grammy Award winner. Titled after one of Joel’s most personal songs—written during a tumultuous love affair—the film captures a singular voice whose music became the soundtrack of a city and a generation. There’s no better way to open the festival than with a night dedicated to a true New York icon—Dan Hunt
