JAMES FRANCO PRESENTS "The Director" (2013) A FILM BY CHRISTINA VOROS.
In the 1960s, American movie icons traveling to Rome noticed the exceptional craftsmanship of a local leather shop founded by Guccio Gucci in 1921. They returned to Hollywood and appeared in films with the bags and shoes that would help to make the Florentine brand an international fashion powerhouse. Ninety years later, Gucci's FridaGiannini is taking inspiration back from the cinema—as well as art,mus...

The festival opens with international premiere of the documentary “Mistaken For Strangers” by first time director Tom Berninger, heavy metal- and horror film-loving enthusiast who follows his brother Matt Berninger, lead singer of the indie rock band ‘The National”.

One of the young talents at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival is Israeli TV Director Jonathan Gurfinkel who presents his startling and disturbing first feature, Six Acts (Shesh Peamin).
Powered by the haunting performance of young actress Sivan Levy, it is the story of Gilly, a sixteen year old girl who transfers to a new Tel-Aviv high school and looks for love in all the wrong places.
As Gilly's quest for acceptance leads her into ever sadder and more da...

Tribeca Film Festival
By Ioannis Pappos
In quantum laboratories around the world you can see an object in two different places at once. Yes, at the same time. Laugh, I used to, but quantum physics is a radical science. I studied electrical engineering, was taught Heisenberg’s theory that atoms are not things but rather tendencies, and still I can’t totally believe that one object can be in more than one place at the same time. Heisenberg was the first paradox in my adult life, so...

As we know, documentaries have become a better source of obtaining facts than the contrived nightly news on the major broadcasting networks and many have sought out other sites like Youtube, docs, and social media as supplements that ultimately lead to their thought processing and critical thinking abilities.
Listen to two of America’s most well known activists talk shop about serious topics like Occupy Wall Street, healthcare, teachers, education, unions, 9/11, the loss of priv...
