The Tribeca 2025 lineup is officially here! Taking place June 4th-15th in New York City, this year’s array of feature films has hit the ground running including Susan Lacy’s ‘Billy Joel: And So It Goes,’ Alex Ross Perry’s ‘Videoheaven,’ and Stephanie Laing’s ’Tow,’ created in association with Goldcrest Post NY.

“At Tribeca, we believe that storytelling is a force — one that connects us, challenges us, and inspires us to reimagine what’s possible,” said Tribeca Festival Director and SVP of Programming Cara Cusumano. “This year’s film lineup is a testament to that power, bursting with creative risk, iconic artists, and new perspectives that spark vital conversations and drive culture forward. These films are a powerful reflection of the world we live in — and the world we want to shape.”

The 2025 Tribeca Film Festival kicks off June 4th, with the world premiere of “Billy Joel: And So It Goes,” at the Beacon Theatre in New York City! A long-awaited portrait of the piano man’s story, the two-part documentary explores Billy Joel’s personal life and career through never-before-seen performances, home movies, photographs, and in-depth interviews.

Director and Producer Susan Lacy says, “I was drawn to his story as someone who knew little at the outset, and was astounded at how autobiographical his songs are and how complex his story is. We are gratified that Bill trusted us with his story, which we have told as honestly as possible, diving into territory which has not been explored before.”

“The Sound of ‘Severance’ Is Way More Than Office Space” - IndieWire spoke with Goldcrest’s Jacob Ribicoff and Bob Chefalas about their techniques for building tension between the “Innie” and “Outie” worlds in Severance, Season 2.

The juxtaposition of Lumon’s threatening claustrophobia against the overwhelming, vast external world heightens across the season, emphasizing specific sound design and foley elements that create thrills from mundane moments.

Bob Chefalas: For the dialogue mix, I tend to favor the boom mics on the Outie world and let the atmosphere and all the movement be heard. With the Innie world, the boom mics can make the rooms sound too large and they need to be carefully dialed in.

Jacob Ribicoff: They often asked me for a collection of sound effects they could cut with while shaping a given episode before the sound team formally came on. The show is so vividly drawn that some of my best conversations were with the episode itself.

IFFR, held from January 30th to February 9th, was curated in part by Olaf Möller, who had already been excited by the concept of a VHS retrospective prior to hearing about ‘Videoheaven.’

Möller says, “It’s the way that this film details 40 years of essentially American history, film by film, year by year, checking out the tiniest changes in video stores and the representation of video stores, and what this means in the relation to politics of the day.”

The “Innies” are officially back in office – Apple TV+’s Severance returns tomorrow for its second season in one of the year’s most highly anticipated premieres!

After wondering what will come of Lumon’s MDR department, following the Season 1 finale, it looks like we may finally receive some answers.

Creator Dan Erickson tells Vanity Fair, “I think things get darker. We very much wanted to put our heroes in a scarier place because season one ends with them poking the bear. They form this little rebellion, and they’re able to achieve a modicum of success with it, but the question with season two was: What happens when the bear pokes back? What’s the fallout of this victory that they had? I think, without giving much away, the fallout is dire.”
