Tribeca Festival Must-Sees Include Projects From David Duchovny, Chelsea Peretti and Steve Soderbergh
variety.comAddie Morfoot Contributor With 109 narrative and documentary features, as well as a bevy of shorts, TV series, podcasts, games and live music events, the Tribeca Festival offers a wide range of media in its 22nd year.“It’s all about creating an entire festival program that harmonizes together,” says Tribeca Festival Director and VP of programming, Cara Cusuamno. “The idea of discovery is a touchpoint that we come back to quite a lot.
Whether it’s the discovery of a specific voice, an artist, or first-time creator in film, television, immersive or the discovery of the audience itself experiencing something that they had not sought out before.” The festival runs June 7-18.
As always, Tribeca Festival will spotlight a number of projects directed by boldface names including Frank Marshall (“Rather”), Chelsea Peretti (“First Time Female Director”) and Steven Soderbergh (“Full Circle”).“It’s quality first,” says Cusuamno. “These projects would not be in the festival if we didn’t believe in them and we weren’t excited about them, but part of what people love about the movies is the glamor and the stardom.
So, we like to have that be a part of the festival as well.”David Duchovny’s “Bucky F*cking Dent” is one of 93 films making its world premiere at Tribeca this year.
