The Tribeca Film Festival is fast approaching, and as usual there are more screenings than we can process and list off (you can check them all out here). But the festival just dropped their announcement for the Closing Night film, as well as Anniversary Screenings and Galas, and, well, that's the real good stuff.
First and most importantly, there is a documentary about Trey Anastasio, Phish frontman and incredibly talented musician.. The doc is called Between Me and My Mind, and this will be the world premiere. It's listed as a "Gala," and the Trey Anastasio Band will perform after the screening at Beacon Theatre. (Details: Friday, April 26th, 8 p.m. at Beacon Theatre.)
There will also be some sweet, sweet nostalgic screenings. We already knew aboutThis Is Spinal Tap and Reality Bites, but an important new addition to that latter screening event is Helen Childress, who wrote the movie and then kind of ducked under the radar for awhile—it's a rare opportunity to hear her discuss her debut hit. This is the film's 25th anniversary, and Childress will be joined by Ben Stiller, Ethan Hawke, Winona Ryder, Janeane Garofalo, and Steve Zahn. (Reality Bites details: Saturday, May 4th, 2 p.m. at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center; Spinal Tap details: Saturday, April 27th, 8 p.m. at Beacon Theatre.)
Another big anniversary being celebrated is Say Anything, which came out 30 years ago. Cameron Crowe, James L. Brooks, John Cusack and Ione Skye will be on hand for that one. (Details: Tuesday, April 30th, 8 p.m. at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center.)
There will also be the debut of Francis Ford Coppola's never-before-seen 4K restored version of Apocalypse Now, entitled Apocalypse Now: Final Cut. This will be followed by a conversation with Coppola. (Details: Sunday, April 28th, 5 p.m. at Beacon Theatre.)
And finally, the closing night film will be the world premiere of Danny Boyle's Yesterday, which is "about a musician who realizes he is the only person who remembers the Beatles' songs." (Details: Saturday, May 4th, 6 p.m. at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center.)
Tickets for events at the Beacon Theatre go on sale March 19th at 11 a.m. Single tickets for all other Festival events go on sale March 26th at 11 a.m. The Tribeca Film Festival takes place from April 24th through May 5th.
