New York, NY, April 29, 2025 - The 2025 Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, today revealed its lineup of talks, reunions, and retrospectives featuring groundbreaking artists, cultural icons, and unforgettable moments from cinema history. From milestone anniversaries of cult classics to thought-provoking live conversations, this year's program celebrates storytelling that continues to inspire.

In honor of landmark anniversaries, Tribeca is rolling out the red carpet for acclaimed films that defined generations. The 30th anniversary of Casino brings together Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese for a special screening and conversation moderated by W. Kamau Bell, presented by City National Bank. De Niro also joins Ben Stiller and producer Jane Rosenthal to celebrate 25 years of Meet the Parents, revisiting the beloved comedy's unforgettable family chaos.

I'm beyond excited to be back with Bob and Ben to celebrate Meet the Parents-a movie that's been making families laugh (and cringe) for a quarter-century, said Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder and CEO of Tribeca and producer of Meet The Parents. With the fourth installment of the franchise in the works, it feels like the perfect time to revisit some of the moments that made this film an instant classic. Tribeca is all about celebrating the stories that stay with us, and this year's lineup is full of those fan-favorite reunions and retrospectives that bring us back to the movies we can't get enough of.

Best in Show marks its 25th anniversary, presented in partnership with Purina, with a live tribute to the legendary mockumentary, featuring a post-screening conversation with director Christopher Guest and cast members Jane Lynch, John Michael Higgins, Michael McKean, and Parker Posey, moderated by Stephen Colbert. Director Darren Aronofsky and Ellen Burstyn reunite for a conversation following the 25th anniversary screening of the visually arresting and emotionally raw Requiem for a Dream, while American Psycho director Mary Harron reflects on her razor-sharp adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel. David Cronenberg makes his Tribeca debut for the 50th anniversary of Shivers, joined by author Joe Hill, to discuss the filmmaker's groundbreaking entry into the body horror genre. Additionally, Scorsese will introduce a special 35mm screening of Kundun, in honor of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama's 90th birthday.

The Festival will mark the 35th anniversary of the seminal queer documentary Paris Is Burning, presented by United Palace's Season of Community,' with a screening and live voguing performance. Music lovers can look forward to the 60th anniversary of The Doors, with a screening of When You're Strange: A Film About The Doors, followed by an exclusive conversation with drummer John Densmore. Originally premiering at Tribeca in 2009, the film offers a deeper look at the band's legacy through rare archival footage. Also premiering is the 4K restoration of the Japanese cult classic Linda Linda Linda. To mark its 20th anniversary, the screening will be followed by a special one-night event at Brooklyn Bowl-reimagined as Tribeca Bowl -with a live performance by breakout punk band The Linda Lindas, whose name was inspired by the film.

Beyond reunions, multimedia powerhouse Alex Cooper-creator, host, and executive producer of the global hit podcast Call Her Daddy and founder of The Unwell Network and Unwell Hydration-will world premiere Call Her Alex, directed by Tribeca alum Ry Russo-Young (Marion, TF 06). The Hulu two-part docuseries offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the life-defining events that shaped Cooper's journey, as she grew from a 24-year-old woman with a sex and dating podcast to the CEO of a media empire in just six years. The premiere will be followed by a live conversation with Cooper and Russo-Young.

Tribeca's fan-favorite Storytellers Series returns with live, in-depth conversations featuring some of today's most bold and influential voices. Sean Penn sits down with CNN Chief White House Correspondent and anchor of The Source Kaitlan Collins for a timely discussion on activism, storytelling, and global impact. Comedian and actor Jim Gaffigan brings his signature humor and insight to the stage, while Grey's Anatomy star and executive producer Ellen Pompeo shares her journey as one of television's most enduring leading women, both presented by City National Bank. Rounding out the series is a conversation with producer and composer Mark Ronson, the musical force behind Barbie The Album, Shallow, and the global smash Uptown Funk.

Each year, the Tribeca Festival champions voices that drive culture forward, offer powerful insights, and share bold creative perspectives, said Meredith Mohr, Vice President of Artist Relations at Tribeca. From our esteemed Storytellers Series to our Reunions and Retrospectives, we're honored to continue fostering dialogue
