The TriBeCa Film Festival is back. Tickets for the annual celluloid celebration go on sale for AmEx cardholders tomorrow, April 12, and to the general public on April 18 (downtown residents get an early chance for tickets on April 17). Dozens of films are slated to screen, including a handful of the usual big ticket flicks with single screenings, so we've tried to make life a little easier for you. Here are a few of the movies—featuring everything from troubled teachers in failing schools to disgraced detectives in steampunk China, electric cars to Carol Channing, perfectionist chefs to nightlife legends—that caught our eyes. So, do you want to go to the festival?
