Movies

Tribeca Film Festival

Dozens of downtown locations will dim the lights this week, as more than 200 movies have their premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival. While the core of the eight-day cinematic lovefest is a competition, there’s also an enormous variety of sneak previews, outdoor screenings, and celebrity events. Here’s our selective guide to the best of Hollywood on the Hudson. (Starts May 3; see http://www.tribecafilmfestival.com/ for further information.) — BORIS KACHKA
