The Cinema and Culture Behind the Tribeca Film Festival
Pete Torres, COO of the Tribeca Film Festival, talks about the festival and what he considers a very timely closing night screening. This year, the festival will close with "The Fourth Estate," a docu-series that focuses on the New York Times' coverage of the Trump Administration's first 100 days.
We also dig into the #TimesUp movement. Torres says the festival will host an entire day of events dedicated to discussion about gender and pay parity. The festival has around 96 films this year, 46% of which are directed by women.
*Correction: A previous version referred to the docu-series as a film.*
A new study shows different strategies may be effective at motivating people to donate, apart from all that “sadvertising.” The study from Nathan Chan, assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Casey Wichman, assistant professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, found that people in good moods are more likely to donate to a charitable cause.
Actor Randall Park is making his feature debut as a director with the upcoming film, "Shortcomings," and spoke with Cheddar News about the movie. Other cast members also joined to talk about the film.
