If your social calendar still has not been marked with the abundance of highly inspirational and eye-opening , fascinating films and other sorts of engaging events (including tons of FREE offerings!) brought to you by this year’s TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL, then now is your chance to make plans for tonight at least! Today, Monday, April 26, you get to participate in two very interesting Tribeca events:

1. Tribeca Talks: Pen to Paper – Authors at the Helm

Do you have an unwritten movie kicking around in your brain? Great, at noon head to the Union Square Barnes & Noble which hosts this returning series of free events focusing on the art of screenwriting as part of the Tribeca Film Festival. Tonight’s event is Authors at the Helm. Whether it’s a novelist, screenwriter, playwright, or songwriter, crossing the line from page to screen is no easy feat. Hear the difficulties and triumphs of the process from some of the best jacks-of-all-trades in the biz. Panelists include Nice Guy Johnny writer/director Edward Burns and Snap writer/director and playwright Carmel Winters. Moderated by The New Yorker’s Susan Orlean.

BARNES & NOBLES UNION SQUARE
33 E 17th St
Mon, Apr 26th
Time: 12:00pm
2. Tribeca Talks Industry – Docs Doing It Right

Panel Premiere (90 min)

We don’t think there’s any need to say that documentary filmmaking is “no walk in the park”. The demanding conditions, inexhaustible research, mobile subjects, and sometimes impossible access is enough to make any documentarian’s head spin. Even the most weathered of the bunch will run into obstacles, but with a few tricks and the correct preparation and equipment, nothing is unattainable. This afternoon at 2 pm, you get a unique chance to join Alexandra Codina (Monica & David), Thorkell Hardarson (Feathered Cocaine), the Danish director Michael Madsen (Into Eternity), and Jon Small (Last Play at Shea), as well as reps from Panavision as they discuss the joys and the dramas of capturing true stories. The event will be moderated byThe Hollywood Reporter’s Georg Szalai.
