AceShowbiz – Documentaries about Pharrell Williams, Sean Penn, and DMX are set to receive their world premieres at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival.
“Hydration”, a concert film directed by Mimi Valdes and chronicling Pharrell’s inaugural Something in the Water festival in his native Virginia last year (19), will be screened in the Spotlight Documentary section of Robert De Niro’s annual Big Apple event, as will “Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road”, a “nonlinear cinematic memoir” which follows The Beach Boys co-founder on a drive around Los Angeles with his longtime friend and Rolling Stone editor, Jason Fine.
“Citizen Penn” focuses on “Milk” actor Sean’s ongoing humanitarian work in Haiti, and “Don’t Try to Understand” will take viewers on a year in the life of troubled rapper DMX.
The 2020 Tribeca Film Festival will also feature “Ice Cold”, a documentary about jewellery in hip-hop culture, produced by rap trio Migos, as well as “Somebody Up There Likes Me”, a project based on a series of intimate conversations with The Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood.
John Legend will premiere “With Drawn Arms”, a film he executive produced about Olympian and civil rights activist Tommie Smith, and his model and TV personality wife, Chrissy Teigen, will also be in attendance to launch “Fries! The Movie” – a film all about French fries – with fellow producer Malcolm Gladwell.
Other festival highlights include “Stardust”, starring Johnny Flynn as the late David Bowie, Hugh Jackman’s “Bad Education”, and Judd Apatow’s “The King of Staten Island”, featuring comedian Pete Davidson.
The 2020 Tribeca Film Festival will take place from 15 to 26 April.
