Short Film Selections

Tribeca says: Remember last year, when Robert DeNiro visited JR at the NYCB?

Broadway at the Festival
What you need to know: As the Festival grows, it becomes increasingly interdisciplinary to draws the attention of neighboring art forms. This year, the festival features intersections with Broadway, another local NYC hub of cultural production. Some key players with exprience in NYC's film and theater scene include  Cynthia Nixon, Elisabeth Moss, James Franco, Ed Harris and John Leguizamo.
Tribeca says: It's all set to be a very musical festival, with a restored On the Town and a performance from Tony Bennett. 

The Wolfpack in the Lower East Side
What you need to know: Director Crystal Moselle chased down the boys of The Wolfpack when she saw them walking down the street in the East Village, a neighborhood that is no stranger to strangeness. After a short conversation with the family, Moselle knew there was a longer story to tell - and so The Wolfpack took off, eventually becoming the documentary to fascinate audiences worldwide.  
Tribeca says: You can buy tickets to The Wolfpack here.
