In 2002, the Tribeca Film Institute successfully launched the First Annual Tribeca Film Festival. Created by Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro, the mission of the Tribeca Film Festival is to enable the international film community and the general public to experience the power of film by redefining the film festival experience.
2007 is the year that the Cannes film festival turns 60 and to celebrate the occasion they asked 35 world-ranking directors to mark the b-day bash with a three-minute short. For many Chacun son cinema shall bring out the pearly whites among he few cinephiles lucky enough to see the film. Sixty is also nifty because of the onslaught of other projects that will most likely make it at this year’s fest. Both a culmination of what I’ve read in Variety and cineuropa.org and my own two cents worth, this is a taste of some of the stuff we can expect to see at this year’s 60th.
The Tribeca Film Festival have announced their World Narrative and World Documentary Feature Film Competition line-ups and the films named for its Spotlight category today and the better programming, better category labeling, familiar directors and a slight decrease in volume makes the 6th edition perhaps the young fest’s strongest edition yet.
First major U.S. buy out of the gate at Berlin film fest – and not surprisingly The Weinstein Co. are still, yes still adding to their upcoming 2007-08 slate. The ever-expanding co. bought Inside (À l'intérieur) from Celluloid Dreams.
