Cannes 2026 Wrap Up, Tribeca Guessing, New Oscars Rules, and the Tone Glow Film Festival

About this episode

Another Cannes is in the books, so naturally we start off with a game about movies featured in the upcoming Tribeca lineup. Can we pinpoint the exact level of fame it takes to headline a Tribeca film? Eventually we talk about the shape of the festival from afar, some of the prize winners, and the overall narrative on this year's festival. We also have an in-depth discussion related to the festival world on the new rules from the Academy of Motion PIctures Arts and Sciences regarding the International Feature qualification for the Oscars. What are the implications for the awards, the festivals, and the overall distribution landscape? Then, J Catherine has been attending the Tone Glow Film Festival, and shares her thoughts on films like Levers, The Rib of the Greater Bay Area, Chronovisor. All this and Special Presentations!
