happily sings him a love song, the bittersweet notes inaudible to

of 1970s South Korea, masterfully captures an emotional journey of

The small town of Visoko heralds a remarkable discovery: A valley
of ancient pyramids predating Egypt exists under the hills of central
Bosnia. Tourists flood the war-scarred region, and locals are caught
between the real and the imagined (mirroring the film’s vacillation
between documentary and fiction). With the help of a young man
returning to his homeland, an American film crew determines the
role of faith in capturing what can not yet be proven.

children are reared to be ignorant, and free thought is surrendered. For
a group of teenage boys, the desire for autonomy means banishment

At a carnival, young Josh Baskin wishes he was big—only to awake the next morning
and discover he is! With the help of his friend Billy (Jared Rushton), Josh (Tom Hanks)
lands a job at a toy company. There, his inner wisdom enables him to successfully
predict what children want to buy, making the awestruck, naïve Josh irresistible to a
beautiful ladder-climbing colleague (Elizabeth Perkins). But the more he experiences
being an adult, the more Josh longs for the simple joys of childhood.

In 1985, at the tender age of 13, Mat Hoffman entered into the BMX circuit as an

gravity. Academy Award® nominee Spike Jonze and extreme sport fanatic Johnny
Knoxville, along with director Jeff Tremaine, showcase the inner workings and
exploits of the man who gave birth to “Big Air.”

SAT 4/24 3:00PM SVA-2
In 2000, Christopher Nolan’s striking thriller Memento captivated
audiences with its innovative portrait of a man disoriented by short-
term memory loss as he hunts for his wife’s killer. In a cinematic
landscape littered with scientific myths, Memento is noteworthy for
its authentic and intriguing dramatization of neurological disorder. As
we revisit this intellectually challenging film on its 10th anniversary,
we celebrate Nolan’s unconventional storytelling—as exciting
now as it was then. Sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
After the Movie: Join us for a conversation featuring special guests
from science and screen, including Memento stars Guy Pearce
and Joe Pantoliano, screenwriter Jonathan Nolan (whose short
2010
story inspired the film), New School professor of psychology
Dr. William Hirst, and MIT professor of behavioral neuroscience
Dr. Suzanne Corkin. Panelists will explore the science of memory as

managing resources and getting the utmost creative impact
out of the budget is key. Attend this panel with SAP, the world’s
leading software company to the major film studios, as they
show you a solution that can help guide independent filmmakers

TALKING WITH PICTURES

THU 4/29 2:00pm SVA-2
There are a million and one ways to tell a story, and twice as
many stories to tell. Whether it’s a comedy, romance, noir, horror,
or sci-fi, the look of a film has a major role in determining and
defining the tone. But does the visual style define genre or does
genre dictate visual style? The collaboration of directors and
cinematographers results in the ability to capture and convey
narrative through the use of shadow, darkness, and light. The gasp
of fear or a feeling of nostalgia can be achieved by a gel on a lens
or the framing of the scene. Join Lee Isaac Chung (Lucky Life) and
other TFF filmmakers and cinematographers in a discussion that
proves there is always more than meets the eye.

Tribeca talks SAT 4/24 12:00pm SVA-2
In two short years, ESPN Films has become an industry
heavyweight in the genre of sports filmmaking. Beginning in
2008 with the Peabody-winning documentary Black Magic
and continuing with the ambitious launch of 30 for 30, the
unprecedented documentary series featuring 30 of today’s
finest storytellers bringing to life 30 of the most remarkable
sports stories from 1979 to 2009. ESPN Films has been able to
break away from what was traditionally thought of as a sports
film. They’ve reimagined the genre, and by showcasing stories
of passion, triumph, and loss the resurgence of sports-themed
films has never been stronger.

including Straight Outta L.A. director Ice Cube and ESPN Films
