The assault that the city of New York has been under for the last week, perpetrated by 5'11, birdlike amazons, garbed in freakish war paint and extravagant, yet bizarrely soft battle armor, is now over.

Tribeca's (Online) Film Festival this year is quite extensive: 6 feature films, 9 in-competition shorts and these9 "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.
