Happy Trailers to You

The films are in the Film Guide, and everything sounds great, but how do you choose what to see? The trailers can provide amazing insight—check out some of the highlights so far!

Happy Trailers to You

At their best, trailers are mini-movies that give you just enough to whet your appetite. They can also give you enough of a taste of the film—tone, cast, palette—for you to give them a thumbs up (or not). For this reason, trailers can be a huge help as you start to determine your Festival wishlist.

Here at Tribeca headquarters, more trailers are arriving every day, and they can all be found right in the Film Guide. (Look for the Watch Trailer icon as you browse.) The latest videos can also always be found by clicking on the Videos tab at the top of any page on TribecaFilm.com—the newest ones will show up automatically.

To give you an idea of the range of films in the Festival, we picked just a sampling. Grab some popcorn and enjoy!
