The lineup for Tribeca is out. And yes, Shrek Forever is set to open it.
As major New York film festivals go, Tribeca is the easiest for me to get into (mostly for the sheer number of screenings), but the one I’m least interested in going to. It’s so hard to sort through the crap and get to the good stuff.
That said, I was totally delighted to see Guy Maddin’s My Winnipeg there in 2008, and if I’m on top of things, I hope to see more this year.
