Movie Madness

This year’s Tribeca Film Festival contained a number of noteworthy documentaries and some new features by rising filmmakers. Erik Childress is joined by Peter Sobczynski to discuss 16 of these films. They include real-life tales about embattled journalists, the effect of COVID on family businesses, historical heroes and modern-day athletes. There are also the latest films from filmmakers such as Travis Stevens (Jakob’s Wife), Alex Thompson (Saint Frances), Alexandre O. Philippe (Memory: The Origins of Alien) and Robert Machoian (The Killing of Two Lovers) as well as upcoming talents like Daniel Antebi, Sophie Gilbert and Alexandria Trewhitt. Erik also sets up a little preview of the upcoming month-long Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal taking place in July and into August. 0:00 - Intro 1:38 – Turn Any Page 4:08 – Liquor Store Dreams 6:27 – Cherry 10:34 – Lynch/Oz 14:57 – The Wild One 17:26 - Rounding 22:02 - Battleground 23:48 - Endangered 24:33 – American Pain 27:20 – Official Competition 33:06 – The Rebell
