Tribeca's Closing Night Gala: Freakonomics
Share
The Tribeca Film Festival, presented by American Express®, the Founding Sponsor of the Festival, is very pleased to announce that its closing night gala will be the documentary Freakonomics. Based on the book by journalist Stephen Dubner and economist Steven Levitt, Freakonomics is less about economics than about the strange connections between seemingly disparate topics—for instance, how drug dealing is like working at McDonald’s or why good parenting methods don’t really matter in the long run.
This unique documentary is directed by a number of critically acclaimed filmmakers: Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (Jesus Camp, 12th & Delaware), Alex Gibney (My Trip to Al-Qaeda, Untitled Eliot Spitzer Film), Seth Gordon (The King of Kong), Eugene Jarecki (Why We Fight, The Trials of Henry Kissinger), and Morgan Spurlock (Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?, Super Size Me).
Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything has sold millions of copies worldwide; its sequel, SuperFreakonomics, was released in 2009 to equal acclaim.
The Festival begins April 21, so be sure to pick up your tickets as soon as they go on sale. If you have a My Tribeca account, you can start planning your schedule now by saving Freakonomics to your calendar!
Don't forget: you can also take part in the Festival virtually with Tribeca Film Festival Virtual Premium passes, or watch a selection of special Tribeca Film offerings on demand, starting April 21.
