Tribeca Film Festival 2019 To Feature Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro will join directors David O. Russell and Dee Rees, plus producer Irwin Winkler and actors Michael J. Fox and Queen Latifah at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival speaker lineup which will feature collaborators Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. 

Del Toro’s Tribeca Talks: Directors Series talk will happen Thursday, April 25 at 8:00 PM at BMCC (Borough of Manhattan  Community College) where he’ll discuss his prolific career turning horror, fairy tales, and the supernatural into world-class filmmaking. In this conversation, the auteur will give audiences an exclusive look into his creative process.

“Our Tribeca Talks have been so successful because they bring together cultural icons to discuss and debate a wide range of topics,” Tribeca Enterprises EVP Paula Weinstein said. “With each participant comes a different perspective and set of career experiences, which, when juxtaposed with those of the other participants and audience members, creates an exclusive experience.”

Amongst other conversations, author and VR specialist Jaron Lanier will also be featured. The 18th annual Tribeca Fest runs from April 24 to May 5.
