Tribeca 2016 (Special Programs)

An often overlooked aspect of many a film festival is the opportunity to experience things are adjacent to film that exclusive of simply going to the theater, watching a film and walking out to ponder what you just saw.

The 2016 Tribeca Film Festival has LOTS to offer in this regard.

Unfortunately, my current schedule means that I will probably miss out many of the events, but if you are able to, I would suggest checking out what you can (subject to availability). Synopses and photos sourced from Tribeca Film Festival website.

 

4oth Anniversary Screening and Reunion: Taxi Driver (4/21)

In attendance: Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader, Robert DeNiro, Jodie Foster and Cybil Shepherd.

The Festival Hub

There is too much going on here to list in a comprehensive and way, so I recommend you just visit the website; highlights include the Games for Change – Games and Media Summit (4/18).
