Some of Hollywood’s most celebrated films will be recognized at the Tribeca Film Festival through Reunions. Legendary award-winning actors Al Pacino and Robert De Niro will headline the exclusive screenings and panels. They will be joined by director Michael Mann and producer Art Linson to discuss ‘Heat.’ The conversation will be moderated by journalist and filmmaker Bilge Ebiri. Two films will also celebrate their 25th anniversaries. Director Kasi Lemmons, producer Caldecot “Cott” Chubb and Meagan Good will discuss ‘Eve’s Bayou’ and director Todd Haynes, producer Christine Vachon, and actors Ewan McGregor and Mico Westmorland will reunite to discuss ‘Velvet Goldmine.’

An even bigger milestone will also be celebrated by the cast and crew of ‘The Godfather.’  Al Pacino, who played Michael Corleone, the character forever sketched into our memories, is set to introduce a screening of a remastered version of Academy-Award winning classic ‘The Godfather.’ The film is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

On top of everything else going on at the Festival, the second annual Harry Belafonte Voices for Social Justice Award will be presented to none other than Academy Award, Emmy, and Grammy-winning artist, actor, author, and activist, Common. Robert De Niro will present the award, which is an original piece of artwork from Derrick Adams. The award named after the famed actor, activist, and civil rights leader acknowledges those who have used storytelling and the arts to enact change in their communities. Common follows inaugural recipient Stacey Abrams as winner of the award.

Lastly, Tribeca Talks: Master Classes returns. It is a series of free events to engage and learn from film industry veterans through classes on different aspects of the filmmaking process.
