Beware the Gonzo
Dir. Bryan Goluboff
Eddie "Gonzo" Gilman (Ezra Miller) is starting a revolution . When the wild-eyed rebel journalist is ousted from his prep school's newspaper by its über-popular editor Gavin Riley (Jesse McCartney), Gonzo decides to become the voice of the oppressed by starting an underground paper with the help from a beautiful outsider (Zoë Kravitz). Not afraid to question authority and infuriate the school’s principal and staff, they give a voice to all the misfits victimized by Gavin and the rest of in-crowd. But the more Gonzo uncovers about the injustices in his school, the more he learns that the truth comes with consequences in this fresh teen-angst comedy. Beware the Gonzo also features Amy Sedaris, Campbell Scott, and Judah Friedlander.

Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure
Dir. Matthew Bate
When two friends tape-recorded the fights of their violently noisy neighbours, they accidentally created one of the world’s first ‘viral’ pop-culture sensations. Exploring the blurred boundaries between privacy, art and exploitation, Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure is a darkly hilarious modern fable.

Grave Encounters
Dir. The Vicious Brothers
Lance Preston and the crew of "Grave Encounters," a ghost-hunting reality television show, are shooting an episode inside the abandoned Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, where unexplained phenomena has been reported for years. All in the name of good television, they voluntarily lock themselves inside the building for the night and begin a paranormal investigation, capturing everything on camera. They quickly realize that the building is more than just haunted—it is alive—and it has no intention of ever letting them leave.

Essential Killing
Dir. Jerzy Skolimowski
Captured by the US military in Afghanistan, Mohammed (Vincent Gallo) is transported to a secret detention centre somewhere in Europe. When the vehicle he is riding in crashes, he finds himself suddenly free and on the run in a snow-blanketed forest, a world away from the desert home he knew. Relentlessly pursued by an army that does not officially exist, Mohammed must confront the necessity to kill in order to survive.

Bonus: This past spring, as part of Tribeca Film Festival's Tribeca Talks Directors Series, NBC News anchor Brian Williams sat down with our very own Robert De Niro for a rare conversation. It was witty, honest and surprisingly candid. Look for highlights, offered for free on Movies on Demand in the Tribeca Film folder.
