Lineup Now to Include World Premiere of Tony Kaye’s Detachment And Work-in-Progress Screening of Kings of Leon Documentary Talihina Sky
New York, NY [April 4, 2011] – The 2011 Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), presented by Founding Sponsor American Express, has added two more films to its feature lineup: a world premiere of Tony Kaye’s drama Detachment and a work-in-progress screening of Stephen C. Mitchell’s Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon. The 10th edition of the Festival will take place from April 20 to May 1 in lower Manhattan.
Detachment is the latest absorbing, multi-layered character study by Kaye (American History X), chronicling the intertwining lives of several high school teachers, administrators and students. Adrien Brody leads a star-studded cast that includes Christina Hendricks, Lucy Liu, James Caan, Marcia Gay Harden, Blythe Danner, Tim Blake Nelson, William Petersen and Bryan Cranston. Talihina Sky is an energetic, behind-the-scenes look at the multiplatinum Kings of Leon, who had a remarkable rise from Pentecostal Southern roots to the top of the charts. Detachment will debut as part of the Spotlight section at TFF, while Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon is a special screening.
“We’re thrilled that we were able to include both of these films in the lineup,” said David Kwok, Director of Programming. “Both complement the program well. Talihina Sky caps off a strong year of music films, and Detachment adds to the distinct dramas that we’re presenting, and it’s great that it’s set in New York and made here.”
