    TRIBECA '08 | Tribeca Unveils Discovery, Midnight Slates for '08 Fest

    by Peter Knegt (March 13, 2008)

    In the second of three feature film program announcements, the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival unveiled the line-up for its Discovery and Midnight sections on Thursday. This year's Discovery section includes 30 films, with 18 World, 1 International, and 11 North American Premieres from up-and-coming directors. The Midnight section, with five World Premieres, will present a select group of genre films, with five of the seven being directorial debuts. The Festival will take place April 23 - May 4, 2008 in Lower Manhattan.

    "With so many new voices and talent in filmmaking today, it is always a thrill to be able to find exciting new artists and introduce them to our audience in our Discovery section," said Peter Scarlet, Artistic Director of the Tribeca Film Festival, in a statement. "The Midnight section is a great chance to catch new talent working in a variety of genres," said David Kwok, Director of Programming. "Filmmakers have launched their careers by showing their debut works in this section, and I'm sure this year will be no exception."

    This year's Tribeca FIlm Festival is made up of ten sections: World Narrative Competition, World Documentary Competition, Encounters, Discovery, Midnight, Spotlight, Showcase, Restored/Rediscovered, Galas and Special Events. The first three were announced earlier this week, while additional lineups for the event will be announced early next week.

    Tatiana,

    Cool! I was wondering if it would be available with English subtitles. Now all we need is it released on DVD in the U.S. Good catch.

    A lot of films that make it to TRIBECA are released on dvd, aren't they?

    I wanna see it, but I'm a little afraid it would get me all depressed.
