NEWLY ANNOUNCED FALL 2025 TRIBECA MEMBERSHIP EVENTS:

“26.2” – October 27 at AMC Lincoln Square

26.2 follows four New Yorkers training for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon: a retired math teacher, an NYPD administrative aide, a public defender, and an elevator mechanic. Between them, they’ve survived a stroke, cancer, a life-changing house fire, and finishing dead last in the 2023 race. They’re not professional runners. They’re people who’ve been knocked down and decided to keep moving. This isn’t a story about running fast. It’s a story about getting there at all.

After the Screening: A conversation with director Nicholas Heller and members of the cast

 

“Crutch” – October 27 at Regal Union Square

Set in the world of the CBS Original Comedy The Neighborhood, CRUTCH centers on its titular character Francois “Frank” Crutchfield (Morgan), who goes by “Crutch,” a brash, yet beloved Harlem shop owner whose world is turned upside down when his highbrow son and free-spirited daughter move back into the family home.

“Alex vs ARod” – November 3

From the pinnacle of athletic success to the depths of scandal, Alex Rodriguez saw his prolific baseball career marred by a high-profile suspension for performance-enhancing drug use. Told through a series of intimate interviews with Rodriguez, ALEX VS AROD explores the dualities of one of the most polarizing figures in sports. With the benefit of hindsight and years of intense self-examination, Rodriguez confronts the personal struggles and controversies that shaped his journey from “Alex,” a baseball prodigy abandoned by his father, to “A-Rod,” the decorated MLB superstar driven by a relentless pursuit of greatness, no matter the cost. Featuring insights from family, friends, teammates, and broadcasters, the series examines the events that fueled Rodriguez’s rise and fall, as well as his extraordinary talent, his place in baseball history, and the personal growth that defines his life as “Alex” today. The series comes from directors Gotham Chopra & Erik LeDrew, and executive producer Lindsay Shookus. It was produced by Religion of Sports, the media company co-founded by Chopra with Michael Strahan and Tom Brady.

“Rosemead” – December 2 at Regal Union Square

Inspired by a harrowing true story, Lucy Liu transforms in a riveting, career-redefining performance as an ailing woman who takes drastic measures to protect her troubled teenage son (Lawrence Shou). As his dark obsessions grow and time runs out, she is forced to make impossible choices: how far will she go and what is she willing to sacrifice? Set against the simmering tensions of a Chinese American community, Rosemead is a gripping portrait of a family pushed to the edge.

PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED FALL 2025 TRIBECA MEMBERSHIP EVENTS:

“Cat’s in the Cradle” – October 30 at Tribeca Film Center

CAT’S IN THE CRADLE: THE SONG THAT CHANGED OUR LIVES tells the story of one of the most emotionally resonant songs in American popular music and the complex, charismatic artist behind it—Harry Chapin. Released in 1974, “Cat’s In the Cradle” became an unexpected chart-topper, cutting through a disco-dominated era with a haunting folk ballad about fatherhood, regret, and the passage of time. The film’s narrative unfolds through a compelling blend of archival footage, performance clips, and interviews with Chapin’s family, bandmates, and a range of musicians and public figures. These include Sandy Chapin (Harry’s wife and the song’s original poet), their children, and notable figures like Billy Joel, Judy Collins, Mandy Patinkin, Dee Snider, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, and Pat Benatar, among others. 

After the Screening: A Q&A with filmmaker Richard Korn and Tom Chapin, Jen Chapin, and Jason Chapin.

The film will be opening in theaters nationally on November 7 through Attend, the innovative theatrical marketplace, developed by The Fithian Group.
