The Tribeca Festival unveiled the talks, retrospectives and reunions that will dot the festival including milestone anniversaries of Casino with fest co-founder Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese; Best in Show with Christopher Guest, Parker Posey, John Michael Higgins, Jane Lynch and Michael McKean; Requiem for a Dream with Darren Aronofsky and Ellen Burstyn; American Psycho with Mary Harron; and Shivers with David Cronenberg.
De Niro also joins Ben Stiller and producer Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Enterprises CEO, to celebrate 25 years of Meet the Parents.
“I’m beyond excited to be back with Bob and Ben to celebrate Meet the Parents—a movie that’s been making families laugh (and cringe) for a quarter-century,” Rosenthal said. “With the fourth installment of the franchise in the works, it feels like the perfect time to revisit some of the moments that made this film an instant classic. Tribeca is all about celebrating the stories that stay with us.”
Scorsese will introduce a special 35mm screening of Kundun, in honor of the 14th Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday.
Podcaster Alex Cooper and director Ry Russo-Young will chat after the world premiere of Hulu docuseries Call Her Alex.
The lineup features conversations with Sean Penn, interviewed by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, along with Jim Gaffigan, Ellen Pompeo and Mark Ronson.
The Festival will mark the 35th anniversary of the seminal queer documentary Paris Is Burning and the 60th anniversary of The Doors, with a screening of When You’re Strange: A Film About The Doors, followed by conversation with drummer John Densmore.
The fest will present its Harry Belafonte Voices for Social Justice Award to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who will join Whoopi Goldberg in conversation. Established in 2021 by the late Paula Weinstein, Tribeca’s former Chief Content Officer and lifelong activist, the award honors her dear friend, the legendary Harry Belafonte, and celebrates individuals who use storytelling and the arts to drive positive social change.
The festival, which runs from June 4-15, has previously announced its feature film, shorts and television selections.
