What to see at the 2025 Tribeca Festival
Briefly

The Tribeca Festival, running from June 4-15, presents an extensive lineup that transcends traditional cinematic experiences. Programmer Vincent Cassous describes it as a 'bridge between different viewpoints and cultures.' This year's festival emphasizes not just film viewings but immersive experiences, including post-screening conversations and live performances from artists associated with the films. Highlights include music documentaries featuring stars like Eddie Vedder and Billy Idol, although the notable opening night film on Billy Joel faced a setback due to his health. The festival nurtures a vibe of spontaneity, promising unexpected appearances by filmmakers and musicians alike.
