One of my favorite film festivals is set to kick off in a few weeks and the Tribeca Film Festival has revealed its plans for the TV side. The Tribeca Film Festival has revealed its TV lineup ahead of the 2019 edition of the annual New York event, set to run from April 24-May 5.
The 18th Tribeca Film Festival will feature anniversary celebrations of In Living Color, which aired its finale 25 years ago, and The Simpsons, which premiered 30 years ago.
The In Living Color event will feature a screening of the series’ pilot episode as well as a reunion and conversation about the show’s influence that has spanned the past 25 years with creator and star Keenen Ivory Wayans and stars Shawn Wayans, Kim Wayans, Tommy Davidson, Rosie Perez and David Alan Grier.
The Simpsons event will include a screening of the episodes “Marge vs. the Monorail” and “The Day the Earth Stood Cool” followed by a conversation about the series’ long lasting legacy with executive producers James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Al Jean and Matt Selman and voice actor Harry Shearer, which will be moderated by the voice of Lisa Simpson, Yeardley Smith.
Along with those two huge events, this years Tribeca Film Festival will bid farewell to Mr. Robot with a talk with stars and Academy Award winner Rami Malek, Christian Slater, Carly Chaikin and creator Sam Esmail ahead of the premiere of the fourth and final season of the USA Network series.
