2022 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL

The 2022 Tribeca Film Festival is set to kick off on June 8th through June 19th. This New York-based fest not only celebrates the latest in cinema but also offers a wide selection of events involving stand-up comedy shows, television programing, music lounge, immersive video games, talks, audio storytelling and master class conversations.

The fest opens with the world premiere of "Halftime", a documentary that examines the life and career of global superstar and New York's own, Jennifer Lopez. Using preparation of her Half-Time show performance for the 2019 Super Bowl as a running thread, the film explores how Lopez has managed to achieve incredible success on music stages and movie screens while being a mother and using her fame to put a spotlight on important causes.



The Centerpiece Film on June 12th is "Vengeance", the feature directorial debut from writer/actor, B.J. Novak. This dark thriller involves a New York journalist (Novak) traveling to West Texas to investigate a mysterious death. Issa Rae and Ashton Kutcher also star.



And the Closing Film will be the world premiere of the documentary on the Rev. Al Sharpton, "Loudmouth" from director, Josh Alexander. The film looks at the controversial Sharpton from his beginnings as an eight year old preacher to his work as an important figure in civil rights and as a racial justice advocate. After the screening, Sharpton will be in conversation with filmmaker, Spike Lee and musician, John Legend.

The films that will be screened are assembled in several sections: Movie Plus which features films combined with live performances and conversations; Spotlight Narrative and Documentary; Viewpoints will feature films with offbeat and innovative points of view; Tribeca Critic's Week are selected films curated by a committee of film critics; Retrospective Screenings (which will include "Eve's Bayou", "Heat", "Velvet Underground" and a 50th anniversary screening of "The Godfather"); Shorts; Midnight is filled with horror, sci-fi and cult cinema; shorts and the films competing for prizes in US Narrative, International Narrative and Documentary categories.
