Millennials in Love in Viaje
What you need to watch: Remezcla, your premier online destination for Latino arts and culture, brings you a first look at the trailer for Paz Fábrega's Viaje, a complex, monochromatic indie romance from Costa Rica that Remezcla contributor Andrew S. Vargas describes as "a love story for the Tinder generation" and one of the most eagerly-anticipated World Premieres at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.
Tribeca says: Get your tickets now for this winsome, well-made gem of a film and check out our master list of other must-see foreign-language titles screening at the 2015 Festival. And be sure to keep an eye out for Remezcla's coverage on Viaje, Fábrega, and other buzzworthy Latino films and artists at this year's Festival.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr. Robot's Tribeca Premiere
What you need to know: USA Network's newest cyber drama Mr. Robot stars Christian Slater and Rami Malek as an anarchic underground hacker and his young protege, and is already receiving praise from critics like The Verge's Bryan Bishop for its smart study of our turbulent, tech-driven times.
Tribeca says: Mr. Robot premieres on USA on June 24th but you can buy your tickets now for a special advance screening of the pilot episode (an Audience Award winner at SXSW 2015) on Sunday, April 26th, at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, followed by an exclusive panel featuring Malek, Slater, and series creator Sam Esmail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chris Bell on Prescription Thugs
What you need to read: Indiewire's terrific "Meet the 2015 Tribeca Filmmakers" interviews series kicked off this week with director and former, nationally-ranked powerlifter Chris Bell (Bigger, Faster, Stronger), whose latest documentary Prescription Thugs offers a trenchant glimpse into the hazardous, terrifying realities of prescription drug abuse.
Tribeca says: Watch Bell discuss the film on a recent episode of Inside MMA and don't miss out on the world premiere of this tough-minded, must-see doc, whose subject matter remains as pertinent and problematic as ever. See showtimes and buy tickets now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Armor of Light Trailer
What you need to see: Abigail E. Disney's provocative, debut documentary The Armor of Light charts the courageous and colossal efforts of the Reverend Rob Schenck to preach about the perils of gun violence throughout America, and IndieWire has the exclusive trailer for one of the 2015 Festival's most skillfully-made and politically-resonsant docs.
Tribeca says: We can not let the conversation about American gun control stall even for a second. See this movie.
