We have some exciting new additions coming to the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival in our film, TV, Tribeca Talks, and Tribeca Immersive sections.

Premiering at next month's Festival is Horses: Patti Smith and her Band, Steven Sebring’s new documentary film capturing the final performance of Smith’s iconic Horses at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, as well as the 40th anniversary of the Horses album tour. Following a special screening at the Beacon Theatre, Smith and her band will perform some of their most popular songs. Tickets go on sale here on Monday, April 2nd at 12:00 PM.

TIME’S UP will host its inaugural New York event during the Tribeca Film Festival. The program will feature compelling conversations with activists, filmmakers, storytellers, lawyers, and more, including initial TIME’S UP supporters such as Ashley Judd and Julianne Moore, as well as Fatima Goss Graves of the National Women's Law Center, celebrated poet and activist, Robin Morgan, Mónica Ramírez of Alianza Nactional de Campesinas, and more. The day will explore how we got to this critical point in women's right, the pioneers who came before to make this work possible, and what’s next for TIME’S UP and beyond.

Patti Smith inaugurated our Tribeca Talks: Storytellers series with Ethan Hawke in 2016.

In addition, the Immersive program is adding the world premiere of Jack: Part One. From the Emmy Award-winning creators of Invasion!, Asteroids! and Rainbow Crow comes Baobab Studios’ latest visionary VR animation that lets viewers experience the world of Jack from the classic fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk.

The Tribeca TV program is also expanding with the world premiere of Enhanced, an ESPN docuseries from executive producers Alex Gibney and Brad Hebert, exploring the frontiers of sports training, technology and recovery, as boundary-pushing innovations propel human athletic achievement to its limits.
