The Tribeca Film Festival is BACK and here are a few of my recs 💋🎥🎬🎞️
#Tribeca2025 #TribecaFilmFestival
We're back for another festival and one of my favorites to attend, Tribeca 2025, and ready to dive into more of the most exciting films of the year.
Buuuut before we get into what’s new at Tribeca this year, we’re marking a full-circle moment.
Our very first episode of #LookBehindtheLook was a deep dive into the film Casino and the incredible work of makeup artist #TriciaSawyer. So when we saw that #Casino was getting a 30th anniversary screening here at Tribeca, we knew we had to honor it.
#MoveYaBody: The Birth of House" Directed by #EleganceBratton
Move Ya Body explores the early days of house music and the Black, brown, and queer pioneers who created it. This doc highlights not just the music, but the cultural power and politics behind the movement. It’s a film about freedom, identity, and the spaces people built to survive and thrive.
"Depeche Mode: M" Directed by Fernando Frias
In #DepecheModeM director #FernandoFrias goes on tour with the iconic band and their fans. It’s part road movie, part reflection on grief, devotion, and legacy. Shot across Europe and Mexico with an atmospheric, intimate eye. Whether you're a longtime fan or just music-curious, this one promises something deeper than the usual tour doc.
"Boy George & Culture Club" Directed by Alison Ellwood
#BoyGeorge was never just a pop star—he was a cultural shift. This new film tracks the rise, fallout, and reunion of #CultureClub bringing a new perspective to a band that broke barriers in race, gender, and identity. Director #AlisonEllwood dives into the drama and the beauty of a band that helped define a decade.
#ItsDorothy! Directed by #JeffreyMcHale
Jeffrey McHale unpacks how the character of Dorothy became a symbol for generations of queer people—across decades of cinema, music, and popular culture far beyond #TheWizardofOz. I’m super excited to see his layered take on the phenomenon and how stories evolve and take on new meaning.
#WeArePat Directed by #RowanHaber
Rowan Haber’s We Are Pat looks at one of the most controversial Saturday Night Live characters, Pat, and reexamines what that character meant through a modern lens. The film explores the intersection of humor and discomfort with gender identity and public perception, raising questions about how far we’ve come and what still needs to change.
"Billy Idol Should Be Dead" Directed by Jonas Åkerlund
In #BillyIdolShouldBeDead, director #JonasÅkerlund blends live footage, interviews, and animation to tell the story of a rock star who outlived the odds—and the expectations. It’s said to be a loud, fast, and deeply personal look into what it costs to stay relevant in a world that eats its icons alive.
"Dear Ms: A Revolution in Print" Directed by #CeciliaAldarondo, #AliceGu, and #SalimaKoroma
#DearMs, brings us into the story of Ms. Magazine and the women behind it. More than a history lesson, the film connects the dots between print media, political activism, and cultural visibility - an inside look at how design and editorial choices shaped an entire movement and why they still matter.
"My Mom Jayne" Directed by #MariskaHargitay
And of course, the one I know so many of us are waiting for, especially after the big Cannes reveal, is Mariska Hargitay’s, #MyMomJayne. She tells the story of her mother, #JayneMansfield, Hollywood icon, sex symbol, and the deeply complex woman she was. It’s an intimate film about legacy, loss, and reclaiming the narrative around a star who was often reduced to her image.
