The 2025 Tribeca Festival has announced more programming for this year’s event, including premieres of two more visual albums, joining the debut of Miley Cyrus’ Something Beautiful visual album, and the New York premieres of Sundance award winners Twinless and Come See Me in the Good Light.
The festival will host the international premiere of Slick Rick‘s Victory visual album, directed by Meji Alabi, with appearances by Idris Elba, Nas and Giggs. Slick Rick will participate in a live conversation after the premiere. And Tribeca will world premiere a visual album from Baltimore hardcore band Turnstile, followed by a conversation with the band. The 50-minute Turnstile: Never Enough was directed by frontman Brendan Yates and guitarist Pat McCrory.
Additionally the festival will host the world premiere of Dead Language, a full-length feature adaptation of the Oscar-nominated short film Aya from Mihal Brezis and Oded Binnun, starring Sarah Adler and Ulrich Thomsen. And there will be New York premieres of two Sundance award winners, the Audience Award-winning Dylan O’Brien and James Sweeney-starrer Twinless and the Festival Favorite Award-winning documentary Come See Me in the Good Light, following poet Andrea Gibson and their partner Megan Falley after Gibson was diagnosed with cancer. The film directed by Ryan White and produced by Tig Notaro features an original song from Sara Bareilles and Brandi Carlile. The premiere screening will be followed by a conversation with White, Notaro and executive producers Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach as well as a special appearance by Sara Bareilles.
“There is always more in store at Tribeca,” said Tribeca Festival director and senior vp, programming Cara Cusumano. “We added these premieres because they’re electric — they push boundaries, stir conversation, and reflect the kind of fearless creativity Tribeca was made for. Whether it’s a visual album that redefines music storytelling or powerful films about identity and connection, these projects expand what it’s possible to experience at a festival.”
The 2025 Tribeca Festival is set to run from June 4-15 in New York.
