“Apocalypse Now: Final Cut”

Francis Ford Coppola’s Vietnam War saga “Apocalyse Now” is celebrating its 40th anniversary at the Tribeca Film Festival with the unveiling of its remastered, never-before-seen director’s cut. On Sunday, April 28, Coppola is scheduled to have an on-stage conversation at Manhattan's Beacon Theater to share some insights and stories about his Academy-Award winning masterpiece.

“Dreamland”

Miles Joris-Peyrafitte’s Depression-era thriller “Dreamland” makes its world premiere at this year’s fest, starring Margot Robbie as a bank-robber on the run. When a young man discovers the fugitive hiding at a Texas farm, he plots to turn her in, but complications arise!

“Georgetown”

Christoph Waltz makes his directorial debut in “Georgetown,” a crime drama about an irresistible social climber named Ulrich Mott (played by Waltz) who marries a powerful and rich older woman, Elsa Brecht (Vanessa Redgrave). When Brecht dies unexpectedly, Mott becomes a main suspect in what seems to be her murder, and her daughter (Annette Bening) becomes a thorn in his side.

“Lost Transmissions”

Katharine O’Brien’s drama follows the lives of shy songwriter Hannah (Juno Temple) and respected producer Theo Ross (Simon Pegg), who forge a life-altering creative partnership. Their friendship faces trials and tribulations as Theo’s mental illness worsens, just as her star rises.

“Yesterday”

Danny Boyle’s British musical comedy is the festival’s closing-night film. It tells the story of a young musician (Himesh Patel) who gets in an accident and wakes up in a world where the Beatles never existed.
