Tribeca Film Festival has selected 32 projects for Tribeca All Access, a program designed to help foster relationships between film industry executives and filmmakers from traditionally underrepresented communities.
Now in its fourth year, Tribeca All Access does just what its name promises—gives filmmakers direct contact with over 100 potential investors, development executives, producers and agents, for exclusive one-on-one meetings. Tribeca has selected a diverse group of arts, including members of African American, Latino, Asian American, Native American, and Pacific Islander communities. The film genres are just as diverse, ranging from romantic comedies to documentaries.
Here’s just a few of the projects chosen:
The Flicker’s Dance- Writer/Director - Priyanka Kumar
Cast: Joe Mantegna, William Mapother, Ione Skye
Confined to his house because of his illness, a boy refuses to give up his love of the outdoors and unexpectedly changes the lives of those around him.
Rain for Kabul- Screenwriter - Soo Hugh
The lives of a celebrated journalist working on a story of detainee prison abuse and an American aid worker in Kabul collide when one of them goes missing.
The Foolishness of God: Desmond Tutu and Forgiveness
Director - Karen Hayes, Producer - Darin Kuhlmann
An in depth examination of Desmond Tutu’s life and work with a focus on his controversial message of forgiveness and reconciliation.
In addition, this year will show off a few of the alumni of the 2005 TAA program, who work will premiere at the 2007 Festival, held April 25-29. Director Benson Lee will premiere his documentary, Planet B-Boy, a film that captures the world championship break dancing. Director Jeffrey Morgan presents Lillie & Leander: A Legacy of Violence, a feature-length documentary that examines what happens when a woman stumbles upon an explosive family secret that hints at decades of racially charged murders.

Long live indie film,
