Tribeca Film Festival Draws Audiences Together

What you need to know: A just-released promo for our upcoming 14th annual Festival (April 15th - 26th) beautifully captures the sheer joy and eye-opening wonder that can only be found within a dark, crowded movie theater.

Tribeca says: Do you know any other Film Festival that brings together the Monty Python troupe, Mary J. Blige, the Not Ready for Primetime Players, Spike Lee, and a staggering assortment of thirty diverse, risk-taking female directors? You need to be here. Watch promo above.

Broad City Domination

What you need to know: Comic goddesses Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson are the subjects of a New York profile this week that goes in-depth on everything from their scrappy beginnings at UCB (where Saturday Night Live s Bobby Moynihan was their improv coach), their comedic influences (including Diane Keaton and Wanda Sykes), and what the success of their Comedy Central series Broad City means for the pair s inevitable takeover of the entertainment industry.

Tribeca says: The season two finale airs next Wednesday at 10:30 EST, which should give just enough time for the weirdly non-converted to binge the first two seasons of this Thelma and Louise of brilliantly absurdist, badass feminist urban sitcom odysseys.

Yeezy Season Approaching (Pt. 2)

What you need to know: In a new, thirty-plus minute interview with France s Clique TV, Kanye West opened up about race, music, the future, and his creative process in a conversation that managed to encompass everything from Drake, Michael Jordan, archery, nineteenth-century fashion, and the surprising inspiration of North s toys. How into this interview is Kanye? He smiles within the first fifteen seconds.

Tribeca says: Now where is this album?

The Last Word on Consent

What you need to know: Quartz contributor Emmeline May has drawn up a clever, commonsensical comparison for those still struggling to grasp the idea and importance of consensual sex, based around the notion that you wouldn t make a person drink a cup of tea that he/she didn t want, and that, even if you re offering, no means no.

Tribeca says: An easy and informative analogy that should be 100% clear to anyone, tea-drinker or otherwise.

Terence Nance Takes The Dig on a Dreamy, Dancing Odyssey

What you need to know: After contributing the soundtrack to rising director Terence Nance s 2012 breakout An Oversimplification of Her Beauty, The Dig have re-teamed with Nance for an entrancing, majestically wandering short film for their 2013 EP You & I.

Tribeca says: Watch the above video and then check out Oversimplification for a longer look at this up-and-coming visionary.
