Tribeca Film Festival 2018 Shorts: Full Slate of Short Films (List) (original) (raw)

The Tribeca Film Festival has set a lineup of 55 short films in a range of genres that encompasses animation, sci-fi and comedy as well as issue-driven docs including two films about gun violence.

The films, of which 29 are world premieres, feature noteworthy actors such as Catherine Deneuve (“Rise of a Star”), Marisa Tomei and Minnie Driver (both in “Laboratory Conditions”), and are grouped into ten different sections. The two films about shootings, Tim McGrath’s “Surviving Theater 9” and Kim Snyder’s “Lessons From a School Shooting,” will screen in the section titled “Aftermath.”
