The Year 2025
The 2025 Tribeca Festival kicked off with the world premiere of the highly anticipated HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So it Goes, an expansive and deeply personal portrait of the life and music of New York City icon Billy Joel,…
It’s easy to see why this film was the 2025 NYC DOC Audience Award Winner. Now, in 2025 it’s coming to PBS. The PBS documentary Slumlord Millionaire delves into the housing injustices faced by tenants in New York City,…
Savvy folks know they need their mojos working in these dreadful times of alarming never-ending ghastly breaking news headlines about the economy, tariffs, immigration, Gaza & Ukraine, White House TACO Tantrums … and so on … and so forth. Good…
Described by critics as “riveting,” “masterful” and “absolutely required viewing,” and in the tradition of past classic documentary exposes such as Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and Inside Job, White With Fear uncovers the real-world consequences of manipulative tactics that seek to demonize immigrants, spread Islamophobia, and deploy a cynical and strategic campaign of racist rhetoric with real world effects.

Poignant and timely. An awe-inspiring, must-watch for those interested in – and those who should be interested in – social justice, real American history and the power of grassroots movements to make things happen positively.

Filmmaker Mike Bradley offers viewers the rare opportunity to engage with a powerhouse cinematic narrative of resistance, cultural preservation and the ongoing struggle for indigenous rights.

More than 30 industry luminaries were selected to honor feature-length and short film categories, composed of narrative and documentary films. Additional juries have also been established to honor the best work in Tribeca’s games, as well as submissions in the audio storytelling category. The winning films, projects, filmmakers, storytellers, and actors in each category will be announced at the Tribeca Festival ceremony on June 12.
“Auditorium Movendum Caveat Ab Hoc Cinematographico”: This film is flushed with graphic depictions of shredded jaws, self-harm and flagellation and reproach, physical cruelty, human combustion and other horrors. It should not be viewed by children, the elderly or, the gods forbid, the squeamish. – Article, Review by Gregg W. Morris
Brooklyn College students and pro-Palestine protesters attempted to form a tent protest encampment on campus to demonstrate against the ongoing U.S. funded genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
