With just a month and a half to go before the festival begins, the Tribeca Film Festival is lining up the 86 feature films and 46 shorts that will play as part of the downtown New York City event. While the films in competition are from up-and-coming artists and foreign auteurs, those showing out of competition come from a variety of well-known directors, as well as several actors making their directorial debuts.
Eric Bana will be debuting as a documentarian with the car racing movie Love the Beast (pictured above), while Meg Ryan and Kristen Bell star for first-time director Cheryl Hines in Serious Moonlight. Hines' film is based on a screenplay by Adrienne Shelly, who directed Hines in Waitress just before Shelly's untimely death in 2006.
There will also be a number of films that have been seen at other festivals, including the reunion of Y Tu Mama Tambien co-stars Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna in Rudo Y Cursi. The full list of world narrative and documentary feature entries can be found here,; the encounters, spotlight, showcase and midnight sections are also fully listed at the Tribeca website.
