Passing Strange isn't the only Spike Lee joint to be unveiled at the Tribeca Film Festival; he'll also be on hand for the world premiere of Kobe Doin' Work, his documentary about a day in the life of Lakers star Kobe Bryant. That day happens to coincide with a late-season 2008 game between the Lakers and the Spurs—one with major playoff implications. Lee's film follows Bryant around with unprecedented access, and during the game captures his every movement and word using a wireless body mic and over 30 cameras.
Last week Executive Director Nancy Schafer talked us through some of the fun events happening during the festival, which include free stuff like the drive-in movies and the family street fair, the post-screening Q&A's with directors such as Spike Lee and Steven Soderbergh, and a "work in progress" premiere screening of the documentary, Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful.
Tickets went on sale Tuesday for American Express Cardmembers, who get first dibs on tickets through Saturday because Am Ex is a major festival sponsor. On Sunday, single tickets go on sale to downtown residents (below Canal) at the Tribeca Cinemas ticket outlet only, and on Monday they go on sale to the general public. All ticket details are here. Click on the film stills above for details on some of the intriguing documentary features at this year's festival.
