Spring has finally arrived in New York City, which means that it’s time for the Tribeca Film Festival! If you live in or around NYC, this two-week event is not to be missed. Neighborhood movie theatres open their doors to big, blockbuster premieres (such as Spider-Man 3) and indies hoping to find a distributor. (Transamerica and Air Guitar Nation both found audiences at past TFFs.) Best of all, most events are open to the public for an $18 ticket.
Two years ago, Jen and I saw a live-action version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that was originally shot in German but had been dubbed in English. The movie was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, and the entire cast had flown from Germany for the screening. You just don’t get that in Iowa.
Check out picks and daily coverage from New York magazine. Fly Away Cafe has a list of free festival events. And of course, don’t forget the Festival’s official site for synopses on all 150-plus movies.

Yeah, i was really excited about the film festival, but I left it to my significant other to order us presale tix through AMEX, but they forgot, so it never happened. Hopefully there are still tix available. Not sure what i’d like to see. Anyone have suggestions?
Yeah, the film list for Tribeca is a bit difficult to digest. I just went through it and came up with a few that are definitely on my wish-list. Here they are in case anyone’s interested:
The Air I Breathe
Blue State
Charlie Bartlett
I Have Never Forgotten You
In Search of a Midnight Kiss
Numb
The Optimists
Planet B-Boy
You can find a full description of each on the Tribeca website.
