Tribeca Film Festival unveils narrative and documentary selections The Israeli drama "Yossi" and the Canadian documentary "The World Before Her" will open the narrative and documentary competitions at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, April 18-29, in Lower Manhattan. In addition to naming the 12 selections in each of those categories on Tuesday, the festival unveiled the films for its noncompetitive Viewpoints program, which focuses on personal stories. "Yossi," directed by Etyan Fox, is about a closeted gay man living in solitude in Tel Aviv whose yearning for a more fulfilling life is sparked by a chance encounter with a group of soldiers. "The World Before Her," directed by Nisha Pahuja, explores how the contrasting worlds of the Miss India beauty pageant and a fundamentalist Hindu camp for girls, above, reflect the complex perceptions of and opportunities available to contemporary Indian women. Other narrative selections include the Argentinian film "All In," about a professional poker player reuniting with an old flame, and the Indonesian film "Postcards From the Zoo," a dreamlike tale about a girl who was raised in a Jakarta zoo and ventures out into the outside world. The documentary section includes "Downeast," about a Maine town hit hard by the closure of a sardine canning factory, and "High Tech, Low Life," which explores Internet censorship and citizen reporting in China. The Viewpoints films include "The Fourth Dimension," which comprises three short films by Harmony Korine, Alexey Fedorchenko and Jan Kwiecinski, and "Francophrenia," an experimental thriller by Ian Olds and James Franco. Selections for the festival hail from 32 countries and were curated by a new programming team including Cannes Film Festival veteran Frederic Boyer, who was hired in November, and Geoffrey Gilmore, who is the chief creative officer at parent company Tribeca Enterprises and is taking a more hands-on role in the festival. Last week, Tribeca announced that the Jason Segel marriage comedy "The Five-Year Engagement" will kick off the festival. The competitions begin the following day. Founded by Robert De Niro and producing partner Jane Rosenthal in 2001, the festival has helped launch such independent films as "Transamerica" and "Let the Right One In." The full list of this year's narrative, documentary and Viewpoints films follows. The rest of the feature-film lineup, including the Spotlight and Cinemania sections, will be named Thursday.
