Tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday morning, April 16, at 11:00, as the Tribeca Film Festival begins its second decade. Running April 18 to 29, this year’s programming was selected by Geoffrey Gilmore, Nancy Shafer, Frédéric Boyer, Genna Terranova, and a team of specialists, resulting in sixty-three feature narratives, thirty-eight full-length documentaries, and sixty shorts (grouped into such compilations as “Character Flaws,” “Escape Clause,” “Fallout,” “Help Wanted,” and “Journeys Across Cultural Landscapes”). The films range from such high-powered fare as Joss Whedon’s The Avengers and Nicholas Stoller’s The Five-Year Engagement to much smaller indie films from around the world. This year’s panels include Robert De Niro, Judd Apatow, and others discussing “100 Years of Universal”; writer-director Charles Matthau and stars Christian Slater, Crispin Glover, Michael Jai White, and Andy Dick talking about Freaky Deaky following a screening of the film based on the Elmore Leonard novel; Oscar-nominated director Jim Sheridan interviewed by his Oscar-nominated daughter, Naomi Sheridan; Michael Moore interviewed by Susan Sarandon; and director John Badham, actress Ally Sheedy, and others taking part in a postscreening talk about the 1983 classic WarGames. Among the free events at the 2012 festival are a series of talks at the Apple Store and the Union Square Barnes & Noble with such favorites as Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Morgan Spurlock, Chris Colfer, Mets pitcher R. A. Dickey, and others; Soccer Day, including a celebrity match and workshops for kids; Sports Day, with a BMX stunt show, appearances by New York athletes, and family-friendly games and activities; a street fair with live performances, local food booths, kite flying, arts and crafts, and a Bubble Garden; and outdoor drive-in screenings of Jaws, The Goonies, and Knuckleball!
