    Competition Short Films Part 1: 2011 Tribeca Film Festival

    Friday I reviewed the 9 retrospective short films available to watch for free in the Tribeca Streaming Room. They underwhelmed me, which I found odd—shouldn't the program have been comprised of nothing but slam-dunk, all-star selections? Anyway, today we shift focus to the films that are actual 2011 Tribeca Film Fest selections, and fortunately  I think they are much better.

    Retro Short Films: Tribeca 2011 Film Festival

    Tribeca's (Online) Film Festival this year is quite extensive: 6 feature films, 9 in-competition shorts and these—9 "retro" shorts from the festival's past, all available for free! We'll cover this year's competition shorts in a series of forthcoming posts, but remember that Tribeca has their own spin on this online thing, so make sure to reserve a 24-hour screening window for each film in advance. These 9 retro shorts are a bit easier to manage, rather than signing up for specific 24-hour screening periods, they are available to view at any time between now and May 1st.
