Podcasts about Tribeca Film Festival

Topcis covered include: Devonté's cello score as the fifth lead in The Invite, Daft Punk working with an 85 piece orchestra on Tron: Legacy (also starring Olivia Wilde!), finding the magic chemistry between strings and dialogue, monophonic vs. polyphonic, a great note from a Disney executive, extreme precision, the true effort it takes to bring soul to synthesizers, composing the Mythologies ballet score before the choreography existed, Random Access Memories being made like a film without cameras, the 250 tracks on Daft Punk's “Touch,” spending two years with just a piano and GoPro, restoring Electroma in 35mm for Tribeca Film Festival, and curiosity as an antidote to the algorithm.

My guests in this segment are filmmaker Morgan Gruer with actors Scott Cohen and Ellie Sachs. Morgan made a short film, a comedy called “Fire at Will” which had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. “Fire at Will” is one family's quest to confront their mortality and each other. https://youtu.be/XU7X4pkxrto The film unravels the tapestry of a modern Jewish family as the Greenbergs attempt to understand each other, without actually stopping to listen. At its core, “Fire at Will” poses the universal question we all surely grapple with every time we visit our parents' homes: Are we who we think we are? Or… are we who our families think we are?

We've covered a lot of PRETENDers on this show. But the guy in this one might take the prize. Carlos Henrique Raposo, better known as Kaiser, fooled the entire professional soccer world in Brazil for 26 years. He signed with more than 30 clubs. He partied with George Michael. He got protected by Rio's most dangerous crime boss. He once punched a fan in the face rather than actually step on the field. And through all of it, he barely played a single real game. This week we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations: an interview with Louis Myles, director of the 2015 documentary "Kaiser! The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football." Myles and his team spent 18 months in Rio chasing down the truth, or something close to it, behind Brazil's greatest football legend who never actually played football. Watch the documentary: "Kaiser! The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football" (2015) is streaming on Amazon Prime. Also from Louis Myles: "Mighty Penguins," following the Brentford Penguins, a football team made up of players with Down syndrome, as they prepare to serve as guard of honour at a Premier League match. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023 and is currently on the festival circuit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Thirty years ago, Saturday Night Live's "It's Pat" turned gender ambiguity into a recurring punchline. Today, the question of what to do with that legacy — and who gets to answer it — is anything but simple.Mike talks with director Ro Haber about We Are Pat, their feature documentary that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, where it earned a Special Jury Mention for Best New Documentary Director. The film follows a cohort of trans and non-binary comedians as they reimagine and rewrite the original Pat sketches, using camp and humor to reclaim a character whose popularity once hinged on making others uncomfortable. Julia Sweeney (Pat herself) joins the conversation, along with contributors including Molly Kearney, Murray Hill, Nori Reed, and Sabrina Wu.Haber and Mike dig into how comedy functions as both a tool of oppression and a radical force for change, and wrestle with the harder questions the film poses: how does art age, and can narratives that once mocked us be genuinely reclaimed? We Are Pat is now streaming on Prime Video and available to rent or buy on Fandango at Home.

Send us Fan MailWriter-director Lauren Meyering and breakout star Lillian Carrier join The Fixate & Binge Podcast to discuss one of 2025's most heartfelt independent films, HORSEGIRLS, which debuted at New York's 2025 Tribeca Film Festival. Inspired by a true story, HORSEGIRLS follows Margarita, a 22-year-old autistic woman navigating adulthood while caring for—and being cared for by—her fiercely protective mother, played by Gretchen Mol. As Margarita discovers the unexpected world of competitive hobby horse riding, she begins to find confidence, community, and her own identity at a pivotal moment in both of their lives.Joe sits down with Meyering and Carrier for an honest conversation about adapting a deeply personal true story for the screen, the importance of authentic neurodivergent representation, collaborating with Gretchen Mol, balancing humor with emotional honesty, and why the film refuses to rely on familiar Hollywood clichés. Carrier also reflects on bringing her own lived experience as an autistic actor to the role of Margarita and what it meant to portray a character with such sincerity and authenticity.Plus, Joe shares why HORSEGIRLS became one of his favorite discoveries of the year, praising the remarkable performances from Carrier and Mol and the film's compassionate portrait of family, independence, and acceptance.If you love character-driven independent cinema and conversations about authentic storytelling, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Thank you for listening!

Thirty years after Boy Meets World made them household names, Danielle Fishel (Topanga), Rider Strong (Shawn), and Will Friedle (Eric) launched a rewatch podcast and hit the road — and directors Chris Levitus and Zane Rubin were there to capture it all. Mike talks with Levitus and Rubin about Doc Meets World, their feature documentary premiering at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival.The two filmmakers discuss how a phone call from Strong turned into a three-year project, why a $20,000 union fee inadvertently shaped their entire approach, and what it took to make a documentary that works just as well for viewers who never watched the show. They also break down the division of labor — Rubin as archival hunter, Levitus as editor — and the painstaking work of crafting an opening that could bring any audience up to speed before the real journey begins.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Watch This Episode On YouTubeHappy third anniversary to the pod and I'm so happy to be spending it with Irish filmmaker -- and award-winning ad maker -- Gar O'Rourke.When people ask about the podcast, the usual first question is, what are your favorite episodes? And I respond with, well, they are all my favorites.It's true. I wouldn't publish something if I wasn't proud of it, and mainly because of audio or other host-related failures, there's been a handful you'll never get to hear.But it's also a bit of a dodge because I know what they are asking and of course I have favorite episodes. I can tell it as soon as we stop recording, and I'm guessing you can tell it, too. The anniversary episode always gets one of those.Gar's latest film, THE SIEGE OF PARADISE (2026) had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, and knowingly reaches for a higher form of filmmaking. A lesser director would have taken the subject of Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera and made it into something mocking influencers and tourists in favor of the aphoristic locals.Gar is one of the best directors in independent film, so we don't have that problem here. What he gives you is a measured, gorgeously shot take on what it means to live in a place like Cinque Terre, either as a tourist or a local; it's a deeply moving film.It's screening in Galway soon for its Irish debut -- check it out if you can there -- or just look for Gar at a festival near you. Whether it's him or another Irish filmmaker, I promise it's the best way to spend your time.In this episode, Gar and I talk about:do Irish people want to hang around other Irish people at film festivals?!;his start in filmmaking;how his brand work (after we recorded this, his ad won a Grand Prix at Cannes Lions 2026) influences his filmmaking;THE SIEGE OF PARADISE;if he knew going in he would take such a balanced approach to the relationship between tourism and locals;if he screened the film for its subjects;what a documentary filmmaker owes his subjects;the absolute stunning shots in this film and where they came from (no drone footage!);what does Screen Ireland do right that other countries could follow (other than more funding);how he knows it's going to be a good festival experience -- or not;what's next for him.Memorable Quotes:" Irish people are the best people to hang out with at film festivals, or most dangerous people to hang out with at film festivals.""THE SIEGE OF PARADISE is like a holiday fever dream."" My life is probably the worst example to follow if you want to be a filmmaker."" I always had this helicopter intro that I wanted to do with the mayor."" In Ireland, it begins with the attitude around film. It begins with the attitude around this is something valuable."" Success in a European mind is...prestige or it's getting a great festival life. It doesn't need to have as much commercial and profit incentive."Links:Follow Gar On InstagramWatch THE PUB THAT REFUSED TO DIE Second Anniversary Pod: Nathaniel Lezra

Before the internet and the ubiquity of social media influencers, there was Robin Byrd – the spirited, anything-goes New York City public access host, clad only in her signature black crochet bikini. From 1977 to 1998, Robin created, produced, and hosted the late-night call-in show that incorporated performances and interviews with adult entertainers and experimental artists. Each show ended with a bawdy song and dance, turning her unapologetic, eponymous show into a national platform for sex-positivity, safe-sex/AIDS awareness, and free speech. BANG MY BOX: THE ROBIN BYRD STORY is a new documentary which just premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and debuted this week on HBO and HBO Max. And I'm thrilled to chat with the filmmakers Jyllian Gunther and Stephanie Schwam about Robin's life and career and their terrific doc, which they co-wrote, co-directed and co-produced, Some background on the filmmakers: Stephanie's expertise in non-fiction storytelling runs the gamut from meaty, one-off, news-based docs, to emotional cinema verite, to straight up formatted reality TV. Her shows have been nominated for multiple GLAAD, Critic's Choice, and Emmy awards. Jyllian is an Emmy Award–winning filmmaker working across film, television, and audio. Her work explores love, loss, and memory, with a keen interest in stories of young people building their futures and older people making sense of their past. She is known for drawing comedic, heartfelt characters with distinct voices. Got somethin' to say?!

In this week's episode I sat down with Lillian Carrier. Lillian is an autistic actress and advocate from Los Angeles, best known for her breakout role in Freeform's Everything's Gonna Be Okay. In 2025, Lillian starred in her first leading film role in HorseGirls, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Directed by Lauren Meyering and co-starring Tony Hale and Gretchen Mol, the film follows Margarita, an autistic 22-year-old who finds unlikely belonging in a quirky community of hobby horse riders.After sharing her journey towards becoming an actor we discuss role in the film, the importance of not just authentic disability representation but also in telling disabled stories that are grounded in truth and so much more.

What a last month or so for Haiti and director Elisee Junior St. Preux's debut feature. Upon its release at the Tribeca Film Festival, THE TROPIC SUN AND HIS EYES (2026) received the Special Jury Mention for Best New Narrative Director alongside rave reviews. It is truly stunning filmmaking, offering both a realistic glimpse of Haiti and an expansive view of fatherhood.Let's count the ways in which his month just aligns perfectly for this film: Haiti playing Brazil in its second World Cup today (there's special screenings of this film in Atlanta); Father's Day in the United States; and all of the plaudits received at its world premiere at Tribeca.We only get more Haitian film directors at top festivals if people like Elisee care about elevating other voices, and he does that, too. Have a month, Elisee; I'm here for it.In this conversation, Elisee and I discuss:the vibe of the film and how he made Haiti essentially a character in the film;why the topic of fatherhood for his first feature;his emphasis on shooting in Haiti and the challenge of others trying to take away his deeply personal story;the creation of what is now SOIL Pictures and how he focuses on uplifting Black voices;"labs are very specific about what they want to get across" -- such important advice about going into a lab or a fellowship;why Tribeca?what's next for this electric filmmaker.Elisee's Indie Film Highlights: MY FATHER'S SHADOW (2025) dir. by Akinola Davies, Jr; I LOVE BOOSTERS (2026) dir. by Boots RileyLinks:Follow Elisee On InstagramElisee's Website

We're about to find out.  Join me as I sit down with comedy legends Bob Odenkirk and David Cross at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival to discuss their documentary Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu — a film about friendship, mortality, and what happens when Hollywood strips away and the mountain shows you who you actually are.  Plus: Why David chose Bob for this — and why Bob almost said no How Bob's heart attack during Better Call Saul gave the whole journey a different kind of weight The moment the mountain cracked them both open — and what they found on the other side Special thanks to Greenslate, Theorem Media, and Portrait for making this panel happen! Greenslate has been a longtime partner of AOP and it never gets old talking about the ways they have revolutionized production payroll and accounting for independent film.

It's one thing to say you're going to create the "Chinese lesbian version of BEFORE SUNRISE (1995)"; it's another thing to actually pull it off.In EPHEMERA (2026), the debut feature for filmmaker Shan Jiang which premiered at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival, it appears she has done just that. It took global producers, a fantastic team, and a truly extraordinary story in how she found the actors, but the film will stand as wide shoulders for so many people and so many future projects.In this episode, we talk about:how she describes EPHEMERA and whether "unhurried" is an adjective she likes to describe the film;the incredible story of how she got involved in filmmaking;her storytelling philosophy, which has been described as " inhabit[ing] familiar narrative tropes and bends them from within to allow new perspectives to emerge" (an amazing quote);the global producers that made EPHEMERA and the concept of China as an entity reacting to a lesbian-focused film; what she took away from this experience for her next feature;finding the incredible actors in this film;what she learned from rehearsals with the actors in a film that is very dependent on them;her direction philosophy in this film and what she views as her job in regarding to structure;why Tribeca ("it's coming home for this film") and the Chinese film festival market;what's next for her.Shan Jiang's Indie Filmmaker Highlight: Celine Sciamma; Peter GreenwayLinks:Follow Shan JiangFollow EPHEMERA On Instagram

Last week was all about Tribeca Film Festival on BEHIND THE LENS and some wonderful animated short films that had their premieres there. This week it's all about Dances With Films, which starts this week on June 18 and runs through June 28 at the TCL Chinese Theatre complex in Hollywood. And there are some great films for you to look forward to seeing, starting with the opening night film – the world premiere of YALE from director JAY SILVERMAN. I love this film! YALE is based on a true story about screenwriter Van Billet's maternal grandfather. When he first learned about his family lore as a young teen, he couldn't believe it was true and knew he had to write about it. YALE is directed by Jay Silverman and written by Van Billet and stars Kevin Dunn, Caitlin McGee, Kathleen Gati, Rachael Harris, Dominic Leeder, Nene Nwoko, and Benjamin Mackey. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

On this week's episode of Female Gaze: The Film Club, Morgan spoke with filmmakers Jyllian Gunther and Stephanie Schwam about their documentary film “Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story” about the iconic NYC public access television personality Robin Byrd. The film does an incredible job of paying homage to her for fans of her work, while giving you a full portrait of what she has accomplished over her career for individuals (like Morgan) who aren't as familiar with her show and activism. The trio discuss meeting Robin, Stephanie and Jyllian's filmmaking styles as a duo, and the film's editing process. For more on the film, you can check out my review on the Female Gaze website.You can follow Female Gaze: The Film ClubInstagramBlueSkyWebsite

It is a truly lovely film about how our food can be a reflection of ourselves that we are able to share with others. We spoke about the pair's first meeting, Jean's work, what it was like shooting the documentary, and the best reactions to the film. You can follow "Cookie, Love"InstagramYou can follow SariInstagramYou can follow JeanInstagramYou can follow Female Gaze: The Film ClubInstagramBlueSkyWebsite

On this week's episode of Female Gaze: The Film Club, Morgan spoke with filmmaker Elisee Junior St Preux and actor Stevenson Jean to discuss their film "The Tropic Sun and His Eyes." The film follows Ruben, portrayed by Jean, as he returns to Haiti to reconnect with his estranged father. The first film shot entirely in Haiti, the film beautifully captures the country as it explores themes about generational trauma, toxic masculinity, and men's mental health. With his feature directorial debut, St Preux has crafted a really stunning first film. In our conversation we discuss the film's themes, working in Haiti, and the film that inspired both as artists. You can check out our full review on the Female Gaze website.You can follow "The Tropic Sun and His Eyes"InstagramYou can follow Female Gaze: The Film ClubInstagramBlueSkyWebsite

Roberta Smith is the exemplar of popular art criticism. For almost four decades, Smith was a familiar voice on the arts pages of the New York Times, serving for many of those years as co-lead art critic. Both feared and revered, she is known above all for close looking, precise description, and a style that's accessible but serious. In 2019, she won the Rabkin Award for Lifetime Achievement. Smith moved to New York in the late 1960s, studying at the Whitney's Independent Study Program and meeting her first mentor, the sculptor Donald Judd. In the early 1970s, she worked at the Museum of Modern Art and Paula Cooper Gallery, then began writing for various art magazines. In the 1980s, she began writing for larger audiences at the Village Voice, and then for the Times starting in 1986. Smith retired two years ago. This week, she is back because a film, called House of Criticism, about her and her husband, New York magazine art critic Jerry Saltz, is making its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival. Ben Davis took that as his cue to interview someone who has shaped the worlds of art-making and art-writing so deeply. Smith was nice enough to talk to him about her method, what she thinks people get wrong about the art world, and what she's looking at now.

Dating in the digital world feels nearly impossible, and for Kevin, it truly is.  In this episode, we dive into the UK-made comedy series "Patterns" focusing on Episode 4: Kevin's Series of Unfortunate Events, which is currently premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival!  Kevin (played by Jake Watkins) is a hopelessly earnest romantic whose optimism far outweighs his self-awareness. By day, he works as a school's Online Safety Salamander. By night, he subjects himself to a relentless series of disastrous dates, convinced that persistence alone will eventually lead to love.  His misadventures become a source of fascination for his colleagues: the confident, sharp-tongued school nurse Vera (Cecilia Noble) and geography teacher Dave Douglas (Ryan Sampson). But what Kevin fails to notice is that a genuine connection has been quietly forming much closer to home.  MEET THE CAST & CREATORS • Kevin (Jake Watkins - BBC's 'I Kissed a Boy'): A lovable friend whose life never quite works out, dreaming of a Hollywood career but stuck as a Safety Salamander. • Dave Douglas (Ryan Sampson - Sky's 'Mr Bigstuff', 'Brassic', ITV's 'Plebs'): An eccentric geography teacher with the best intentions who thinks he's "down with the kids." • Vera (Cecilia Noble - BBC's 'Killing Eve', Netflix's 'Black Mirror'): A no-nonsense school nurse who acts as Kevin's anchor with tough love and emergency sausage rolls. • Creator & Writer: Asad Moghal, who drew inspiration from a string of his own real-life dating disasters to create this sharply observed, character-driven comedy. • Director: Rex Glensy, an orchestral conductor turned entertainment lawyer and filmmaker (director of 'Hill of Vision'), representing production company Aurelia Pictures. INSIDE THE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT "Everyone has had a disaster date... My goal as a director was to take a self-deprecating view of dating nightmares some of us might have had, so that at least we can laugh at ourselves instead of crying. The lead character, Kevin is all of us." Stay connected with me: https://www.chonacas.com/links/

Survivor 50 Panel at The Tribeca Film Festival Survivor celebrates its 25th anniversary at the iconic Tribeca Festival, bringing fans and legends together to reflect on 50 thrilling seasons of blindsides, alliances, and changing gameplay. In this milestone panel, Jane Rosenthal (Academy Award-nominated producer and co-founder of Tribeca Festival) is joined by Survivor icons including Rob and a panel of recent castaways to break down just what has kept Survivor fresh, relevant, and captivating for a quarter century. The discussion dives deep into Survivor 50, with candid stories about evolving gameplay—from the old school ride-or-die alliances to today's fast-shifting strategies where betrayal might just forge your next big move. Rob sets the tone by highlighting the “tribe” at the heart of Tribeca, while Jane and others reveal how Survivor has become both an archive of human interaction and a mirror for social change. The castaways talk openly about the shortened 26-day format, what it feels like to return to “regular” life after the highs and lows of Tribal Council, and the challenge of keeping up in a world (and show) where attention spans are shorter, but the stakes feel bigger than ever. – How Survivor's social game has evolved from ruthless old-school loyalty to quick repairs and unexpected new partnerships – Rob's perspective on why being voted out still resonates so deeply with our basic human fears and desires – The impact of Survivor's increased representation—including calls for more blue-collar workers and trans women on the cast – Insights into the role of storytelling at Final Tribal: has ‘outwit, outplay, outlast' changed its meaning? – Jane Rosenthal and panelists discuss how Survivor moments—from hard-hitting social issues to unforgettable blindsides—continue shaping viewers and players alike As Survivor 50 continues to push boundaries, the panel raises questions about who will adapt and thrive in an era where gameplay, identity, and society overlap. Does forging new school alliances faster than ever pay off, or do classic Survivor instincts still win the day?

In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we chat with the filmmakers behind the movie 'Kingston' which premiered at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival. At the prestigious Kingston College, paths collide between a first generation student, the son of a billionaire, a noncommittal situationship, and a Chinese professor. The semester will shake the identity of each, and of the university itself. Carlos Key (Writer-Director) is a 24-year-old filmmaker based in New York. Spending early childhood in China and Chile, he gained an early fascination with languages and cross-cultural narratives. He continued to develop this passion through filmmaking in the following years, and pursued East Asian Studies with a focus on Chinese at Columbia University. Carlos and his now long-term creative partner Kalijah Rowe met in their Seattle high school film club. Over the past eight years the duo have collaborated on over a dozen short films, with multiple screened at festivals including SIFF and NFFTY. Their most recent projects were the short film MARRIED TO THE GAME and the featurette MEMORIES OF MEAT, where they honed their directorial style in a longer runtime format. Now, the best-friends-turned-co-directors have completed their first feature-length film KINGSTON, where they seek to capture the trials, tribulations, and general absurdity of their generation's college experience. Kalijah Rowe (Writer-Director) Kalijah Rowe is a 24-year-old filmmaker currently based in New York. After feeling limited at his film school in Seattle, he left to develop his style on his own terms. Producing numerous experimental shorts and music videos independently, he consistently found himself drawn to imagery with a surrealist texture as a tool for expressing what words could not. Kalijah and his now long-term creative partner Carlos Key met in their Seattle high school film club. Over the past eight years the duo have collaborated on over a dozen short films, with multiple screened at festivals including SIFF and NFFTY. Their most recent projects were the short film MARRIED TO THE GAME and the featurette MEMORIES OF MEAT, where they combined their individual strengths into a style that is both introspective but also kinetic. Now, the best-friends-turned-co-directors have completed their first feature-length film KINGSTON, where they seek to capture the trials, tribulations, and general absurdity of their generation's college experience. Jenna Shen (Writer-Producer) Jenna Shen is a Beijing-born filmmaker currently based in New York. She is a rising senior at Columbia University double majoring in English and Film. Her approach to filmmaking blends academic inquiry with socio-cultural awareness, with a particular focus in low budget independent, international, and arthouse cinema. EVERYTHING YOU DON'T KNOW, the first short film she co-wrote, directed, and edited in high school, has been viewed more than 40K times online and continues to spark conversations around public education in China. In New York, she has been involved in numerous thesis projects from schools such as SVA, NYU Tisch, and Columbia School of the Arts. Some of her recent credits include co-writing and producing KINGSTON (selected to compete in the U.S. Narrative Feature category at the 2026 Tribeca Festival) and co-producing MASQUERADE (a BAFTA-Yugo Short Film Commissioning Grant winner). PERFORMANCE, an experimental feature she assistant directed, is currently in post production. Host: Jamie Music by: Sammus Edited by: Jamie Broadnax Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this powerful episode, Jenn sits down with Gary DeVercelly, whose son Gary Jr. tragically died in a fraternity hazing incident nearly 20 years ago, and Daniel, director of the new documentary film 4000, premiering next week at the Tribeca Film Festival. They discuss the devastating realities of hazing culture, the silence that protects it, and the families who have turned unimaginable loss into a movement for change. Through Gary’s personal story and Daniel’s reporting, the conversation explores why awareness must start long before college and how breaking the cycle of hazing “tradition” could save lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
