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.

Howdy everyone, Jason here. So you've been thinking about putting your short film online.

It is April 18th, the first day in which you can make reservations via Tribeca's new online distribution system in order to "virtually attend" the screenings of 9 new short films, 9 "classic" shorts and 6 new features. The process is really simple.
