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.*
2024 is the Year of the Dragon for the Lunar New Year, which kicks off February 10. To commemorate the occasion, the U.S. Post Office unveiled a new dragon stamp.
With winter officially underway, a cup of tea is a perfect way to see off that cold. Fiona Hynes, corporate director of food and beverage at Arlo Hotels, joined Cheddar News to discuss the concept of high tea and the proper way to enjoy it. Executive Chef Michael King also demonstrated some treats to enjoy with tea.
Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers and the co-host of one of the most socially conscious and groundbreaking television shows in the history of the medium, has died at 86.
