Exciting news from Tribeca! We are thrilled to celebrate four films made with the support of Women Make Movies Production Assistance Program screening at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
The following two films will have their world premieres in competition:
THE GYMNASTS OF FISHERMAN COLONY (dir. Habiba Nosheen)
The birth of a gymnastics team in Pakistan provides an inspiring spark of light for a small group of girls on the margins. Executive produced by Mariska Hargitay, this moving film is a lyrical coming-of-age journey as these girls turn their team into a small rebellion.
KIDS LIKE ME (dir. Cynthia Lowen and Jon Cohrs)
This charming film explores the life and aspirations of Oliver, a rambunctious and imaginative preteen growing up with disabilities, who’s an avowed murder-mystery aficionado about to craft the perfect mystery caper.
Also making its world premiere is:
HOLLYWOOD DOES ABORTION (dir. Barbara Attie, Janet Goldwater, and Mike Attie)
Since the 1970s, depictions of abortion in film and television have both impacted and reflected shifting attitudes towards the procedure and those who choose it. This incisive documentary follows the pursuit of reproductive justice and the undeniable impact that the American entertainment industry has had on that fight.
After premiering at Sundance, where it won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and then going on to Berlin, the drama film TAKE ME HOME (dir. Liz Sargent) will come to Tribeca.
Anna, a 38-year-old Korean adoptee with a cognitive disability, cares for her aging parents in a fragile balance of meeting one another’s needs. When a Florida heat wave shatters their family and Anna’s routine, her future is uncertain until she creates a world where she can thrive. (The film is an adaptation of the 2023 short of the same same.)
Congratulations to all the filmmakers!
