Tribeca Festival — A–Z of films

A splatter-happy romp through one night in the organ trade.

The emphasis is not on the elephants but on the sisterhood, solidarity and empowerment of the women who patrol the parkland where they live.

What matters here is what is real and what is the figment of a sick imagination.

First-time feature director Ruthy Pribar takes a loose and intimate approach to the relationship, allowing it to unfold in moments.

If you're looking for a primer on the life and work of guerilla (and gorilla) street artist Banksy, then you could do a lot worse than take a look at this.

The action, when it comes, is introduced with an impact that will make you drop your popcorn, and you’ll be on the edge of your seat for what follows.

Rather than following somebody raised a girl who is learning to live as a boy, it's about a boy who, all too quickly, has to start learning to be a man.

Oesch wastes no time in trapping us between the twin tensions of the kitchen - the need for almost surgeon-like skill when it comes to plating each dish and the flurry of energy required to get the food to that point.

What would it mean to live in a world where damnation was a very real and tangible prospect and yet, because of one's immutable nature, nothing one did could make a difference to one's fate?

Almost everybody here is hiding something - sometimes from themselves.

More interested in illustration than in analysis.

There's a generosity of spirit here that is increasingly a feature of teenage dramas as writers and directors move away from stereotypes to more complex characters.

A species of all-American folk horror bound up with Biblical fundamentalism and the tainted bounty of the land.

Although the thrust of the film focuses on the couple's foibles and relationship, there is also some sly skewering of wider Israeli society.

Earnshaw doesn't shy away from the fundamentals of Jacinta's situation and her relationship with addiction.

We don't need to be told explicitly about the world beyond the camera frame or the history of these characters to feel intimate with them.

Bustamente, in both of his films last year, prefers subtle suggestion to overt statements.

With women like this so often reduced to a sexy and destructive cliché by male directors, it's interesting to observe her from a more human angle.

My Wonderful Wanda picks just the right moments to introduce real emotion into the mix.

Nicholas Bruckman's film follows Ady long enough that we see not just the impact upon him but the changes wrought in those around him.

Well acted and sensitively delivered, No Future is a reminder that addicts don’t exist in isolation; that their suffering, and the paucity of state services to support them.

With some variety in subject matter across them, No More Wings shows a flexibility with tone in script that's carried over to other duties behind the camera.

It's a lot to fit into 75 minutes and while there's plenty here that is interesting, it's a shame Gabbert didn't distil things down a bit more.

The film unfolds like a religious parable, illustrating how easy it is to become corrupted when single-mindedly pursuing a goal.

Before, it often felt as though Decker was drifting off onto self-indulgent tangents but her latest feels much more under control, with those tangents are a fully fledged part of the portrait.

On its surface, it is slight - after all, this is a single family argument between a drag queen and the sister who disapproved of her brother's lifestyle - but McGuire is hunting for deeper resonances.

There's a strong flavour of Quatermass about this deliciously dark first offering from Egor Abramenko.

This could have been a fine film if it had been a different story about Bowie or this story about someone else.

Although her focus is on the strays that roam the streets of Istanbul.. the wider human world is reflected through the prism of the dog's domain.

The kind of documentary that expresses its politics through the simple act of observation, Limbal's film is a plea for justice.

Particularly inspiring here are the collaborations between women, whether composers, musicians, engineers or a blend of these.
