Dennehy, Schreiber, and More to Be Featured in 2010 Tribeca Films

The 2010 Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), presented by American Express, the Founding Sponsor of the Festival, today announced its remaining out-of-competition feature film selections in the Encounters, Discovery, Cinemania and Spotlight sections. The Festival will take place from April 21 to May 2, 2010 in lower Manhattan, offering audiences film screenings, conversations and an array of free community events. As previously announced, the 2010 film selection encompasses feature films from 38 different countries, including 45 World Premieres, 7 International Premieres, 14 North American Premieres, 6 U.S. Premieres and 12 New York Premieres.

The Encounters section is comprised of 14 films that highlight works by a wide range of established talent and feature recognizable subjects. Eleven of the 14 films are world premieres, including new works by Academy Award®-winning filmmakers Alex Gibney and Chuck Workman, as well as Academy Award-nominated Dana Adam Shapiro, and featured actors include Ellen Barkin, Tilda Swinton, Liev Schreiber, Helen Hunt, Brian Dennehy, Eddie Izzard, Kim Cattrall, Rashida Jones and Melissa Leo.

The Discovery section presents 17 films by new talent appealing to a range of tastes. Its documentaries showcase everything from the North Pole and Congressional redistricting to a comedy tour of the Middle East. Its narrative films feature performances by stars including Amy Sedaris, Jesse McCartney and Jay Baruchel, and the writing/directing debut of Omar Rodriguez Lopez of the Grammy-winning rock band Mars Volta. Cinemania, the section formerly known as Midnight, features new work by Hong Kong filmmaker Ho-Cheung Pang, the outrageous teen comedy Spork, and a new film by Kieran and John Carney, director of Oscar® winner Once.

The eight films in this year's Spotlight section are all highly anticipated features. They include performances by Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Robert Duvall, Colin Farrell, Amanda Peet and Rebecca Hall. The selection contains films from acclaimed filmmakers, including Academy Award® winners Aaron Schneider and Neil Jordan, and will be available to TFF audiences before they hit theaters.

This year for the first time, audiences will have the opportunity to experience the Festival from their homes. Through video-on-demand, more than 40 million households will have access to 12 feature length films acquired by the recently launched Tribeca Film. Seven of the 12 films are part of the 2010 TFF line-up and will be screened day-and-date with the Festival; they include five in the sections unveiled today.

Additionally, Tribeca has unveiled the eight films that have been curated for the Tribeca Film Festival Virtual (TFF Virtual), the online Festival experience that brings films in the Festival directly to audiences across the U.S. TFF Virtual will also feature panel discussions, Q&As with filmmakers and actors, live TFF red carpet action and more-all via the Internet.

"We are proud of how the entire program reflects the scope of filmmaking that is happening in the world today. Cinemania is a great cross-section of genre films. Asia has a strong presence with horror and action, while the Americans and Irish deliver the out-there humor," said David Kwok, Director of Programming. "The Spotlight section is full of anticipated films by well known and admired talent. It's great to give our audience the festival experience with these films before they get released."

"Our Discovery and Encounters sections complement one another-one highlights fresh talent that is breaking onto the scene, while the latter continues to offer original films that reflect pop culture and contemporary issues," said Genna Terranova, Senior Programmer. "Both categories are packed with entertaining stories about real life individuals and inventive characters. These films have a palpable energy with varying degrees of levity and seriousness."
