The East Coast premiere of Netflix’s Icarus and Espn FIlms’ Year Of The Scab bookend the 15th annual edition of AFI Docs.
Icarus (pictured), directed by Bryan Fogel, premiered at Sundance this year. Fogel sets out to uncover the truth about doping in sports.

Each year, the Tribeca Film Festival fills out its schedule with a variety of events that extend far past the typical film fest fare, including their signature Tribeca Talks program and a continuing bent towards the possibilities of Virtual Reality. This year’s slate is no different, offering up intimate chats between industry luminaries (did you know that Robert Rodriguez and Barbra Streisand are pals? they are!) and special screening opportunities for projects both new (Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s “The Vietnam War”) and classic (a “Godfather” one-two punch). There’s a little something for everyone here.
This year’s Tribeca Film Festival takes place April 19 – 30. Check out some of our must-attend events below.
