Steven Spielberg is also bringing a 50th anniversary screening of his theatrical debut, The Sugarland Express, to Tribeca and will participate in a conversation after the screening.

And the festival will continue this year’s 25th anniversary celebration of the premiere of The Sopranos with a Beacon Theatre screening of the documentary Wise Guy directed by Alex Gibney, followed by a reunion with creator David Chase, executive producer Terence Winter and the Sopranos cast.
