New York, NY (M&C) – The 2007 Tribeca Film Festival, announced March 15 the third and final group of feature film selections in its Discovery, Showcase and Family Film Festival selections, for the sixth annual festival, taking place April 25 – May 6, 2007.
For a second year, the Discovery section highlights the work of up-and-coming narrative and documentary directors. This year’s line-up includes 39 films, with 33 World Premieres.
The Showcase selections include a number of outstanding films that have previously earned praise at other film festivals around the globe.
The Family Film Festival presents films for all ages. This collection consists of an assortment of styles and subjects ranging from innovative animation to imaginative narratives, as well as documentaries that amaze, inspire and most of all – entertain.
The Festival also announced the World Premiere of the documentary, “Brando.” This Turner Movie Classics’ film, about the complex life of Marlon Brando, is a compilation of intriguing never-before-seen footage and interviews with friends including Martin Scorsese, Johnny Depp and Al Pacino.
“The Discovery section highlights works by new talents, many of whom are sure to become better-known a few years from now,” said TFF Executive Director Peter Scarlet. “In Showcase you’ll find strong new works, many that have been given prizes at other film festivals this past year. We are excited to present these acclaimed films to New Yorkers. Finally, our family film festival continues to be the most exciting part of our festival for kids from all over New York, and we’re hopeful that more than a few of them will become the film buffs of tomorrow.”
Following are the titles included in the final three sections of the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival:
Discovery:
The Discovery section includes 39 feature films both narrative and documentary, which are the work of up-and-coming directors from 12 countries. Films in this section include such talent as Eva Mendes, Matthew Perry, Lucy Liu, Elijah Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Anna Paquin and the directorial debut of Fred Durst. Discovery titles cover a diverse spectrum of stories ranging from the fascination of facing childhood fears to the journey of a transgender and from the scenario of a reinstated military draft to six horses’ path to the Kentucky Derby.
• Numb, directed and written by Harris Goldberg. (Canada, U.S.A.) – World Premiere. In this dark comedy, Matthew Perry stars as Hudson, a love-struck screenwriter suffering from acute depersonalization disorder—which makes chronic depression seem like a walk in the park by comparison. When Hudson falls for the girl of his dreams, he must put himself through every therapy imaginable to win her love.
