The Tribeca Film Festival began on Wednesday night with the premiere of Live From New York!, Bao Nguyen’s documentary about the history of Saturday Night Live. Although your humble film critic was unable to see that film, the festival will offer more than a hundred movies of various flavors from April 15-26, and in this critic’s opinion, the lineup in 2015 is stronger than any in the last five years. Starting today, this is your place to find a brief run-down of the films that played the festival the day before, either in public screenings or in pre-festival press screenings.

Read More: Meet the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival Filmmakers Gregory Kohn's "Come Down Molly" may center around a struggling single mother, but the film's existential exploration by way of psychedelic drugs draws directly from the filmmaker's own history. "I felt like other movies always got tripping wrong," Kohn said to Indiewire. "I wanted to show friends actually giggling at each other's ideas. I wanted them to really be laughing or crying at the absurdity of existence, because that’s what it's like when you're tripping." For the director, the film's use of drugs is just the entry way into a story about existence, growing old and growing up. What's your film about in 140 characters or less? A struggling new mom joins her old guy friends at a secluded mountain home. Amidst tears, laughter and psychedelic drugs, they connect with nature and themselves. Now what's it Really about? It's really about a woman's existential crisis.

A bland aimlesssness characterizes both Northeast's lead character and the film itself. In Gregory Kohn's fatally underdeveloped study of twentysomething anomie, Will (David Call) flits through Brooklyn from one woman to the next while hanging out with friends who are marginally less directionless than he is. Taking up bike riding, dating an older woman, and embarking on a trip to the country fail to rouse Will from his stupor, a point that Kohn makes by cutting together close-ups of the character's face as he walks through the anonymous, smudgy city late in the film. This penchant on the director's part for blurred-background close-ups (generally taken with a handheld camera) is perfectly representative of his non-interest in any specific details, either geographical or ...

15) Out Of The Game – Rufus Wainwright
Director: Phillip Andelman
The mere presence of the fantastic Helena Bonham Carter is the reason this video made the list. In this brilliant fantasy of a video the equally fantastic Rufus Wainwright gives a funny performance by embodying different personalities. The two of them together is a visual treat full of wistful moments.
14) The Only Place – Best Coast
Director: Ace Norton
This fun video for the upbeat comeback single from Best Coast accompanies the love letter to California vibe the track has going on perfectly. The California-obsessed duo cruise around the state as we see them indulge in fun activities such as leave their mark, smash TVs and make blended beverages.
13) Blue Velvet – Lana Del Rey
Director: Johan Renck
As the face of H&M’s fashion collection for Autumn 2012, Renck and Lana teamed up for this beautifully eerie, Lynch-esque music video/advert.

In writer-director Gregory Kohn’s Northeast, we watch Will (David Call) hang out on the streets and in the cramped apartments of New York: We watch him eat an apple as daytime traffic swooshes between him and the 16mm camera. We watch him smoke a cigarette against the fuzzy city lights at night. We watch him stare out a window into the lemon-colored light of dawn. We even watch his space heater warm up with an electric glow and buzz....

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? Some of the best authors will tell you that writing a short story is a lot harder than writing a long one, that you have to weigh every sentence. What better medium to see how this theory plays itself out beyond that than with movie trailers? [Rec]³ Génesis Trailer This is the kind of trailer that gets me all jolly. Director/writer Paco Plaza has found a niche that works, and has worked for a few films.

Featuring honest performances from a talented ensemble cast, including David Call (Tiny Furniture), Eleonore Hendricks (Daddy Longlegs), Tate Ellington (Remember Me) and more, Northeast is a vividly naturalistic portrayal of the pressures of impending adulthood. Starting February 22nd and going until February 28th, Northeast is heading back to Brooklyn with a repertory run at the lauded reRun theater. Co-presented by Filmwax, Tribeca Film and reRUN, filmmaker Gregory Kohn, David Call, Eleonore Hendricks and additional cast and crew will be in attendance at the 7:30 this coming Friday. Kohn (who will make appearances throughout the week) took the time to speak to us about storytelling, the filmmakers who influenced him, and the real events that inspired Northeast, his film for the millennial generation. Note: This interview originally ran as part of our coverage for our December 2011 Film Slate. Tribeca: Northeast zeroes in on this new breed of 20-somethings who are taking...

We've got your exclusive first look at the poster one sheet for Gregory Kohn's Northeast, the shot on 16mm pic which stars David Call, ("Two Gates of Sleep") and Eleonore Hendricks (from the Safdie Bros.' The Pleasure of Being Robbed and Go Get Some Rosemary). Tribeca Film is releasing the indie pic nationwide on December 26th via cable VOD, iTunes, Amazon, and Vudu. Tomorrow we'll be bringing you the trailer. David Call plays Will, an unemployed and aimless playboy in Brooklyn, New York, has spent his 20’s skating on easy charm from one casual, distant affair to the next. Noticing his friends’ happiness as they gradually settle into steady jobs and committed relationships, Will decides to trade apathy for effort in order to find someone with whom he can start the next chapter of his life.

#33. Northeast - Gregory Kohn Kickstarter.com might just become a major supplier of Diy talent for the Sundance Film Festival. Last year's introduction of the Next section had an example, perhaps Gregory Kohn's Northeast will be one more project to follow. With a grab-bag of indie acting talent in David Call, Eléonore Hendricks and Tate Ellington, the low-budget, 16mm project appears likely for a SXSW birth, and perhaps Park City world preem. This is about Will, an amoral modern man (played by David Call) who just moved to the city for the first time. As he endures the cold, lonely days of winter, he fills his nights with a variety of intriguing women. Yet, as he settles into his new routine, he begins to question his own indifference, and wonders if there’s something beyond just sex. While Will is a unique character, the film draws the viewer into...
