The 17th annual Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T, today announced its lineup of 55 diverse and engaging short films in competition, including 29 world premieres. The selected shorts include a cross-section of international and U.S. filmmakers and were curated from a record 4,754 submissions. For the second year running, 40% of the selections are directed by female filmmakers. The short films will be presented in 10 distinct competition programs, which consist of five narrative, three documentary, one animation, and one hybrid program. The program will also include special screenings and the 12th annual Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival, sponsored by Mohegan Sun. The Shorts Film program, sponsored by Nutella®, runs throughout the Festival, April 18-29.

The upcoming ROGUE WARRIOR: ROBOT FIGHTER has signed heavy metal sensations Rhapsody of Fire to work on the film. 

On the day the biggest teaser trailer of the week hits (Star Wars : The Force Awakens), a new science-fiction film takes to the dunes of the classic Star Wars Episode VI : Return of the Jedi.

The players went through the blocking just fine, but never truly embodied or developed the characters to the depths of their potential emotional scope. Basically, they put on a play but not a performance.

When dealing with smart comedic timing such as Coward's, one must examine what works to enhance the show and what doesn't.
