After hours of tireless negotiations the plane was granted permission to leave only to head to Marseille for refueling. Mindfully avoiding politics and emphasizing only the events themselves, The Assault weaves together the violent and claustrophobic onboard drama, with backstories of the tough SWAT officer and father Thierry (Vincent Elbaz), the determined jihadist from the slums of Algiers (Aymen Saidi), and an overly ambitious French Interior Ministry worker.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o2aqaHt9Z5A\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Beats, Rhymes &amp; Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest &#8211; directed by Michael Rappaport<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2011\/04\/2011-tribeca-film-festival-preview\/tribeca-beats-rhymes-life-the-travels-of-a-tribe-called-quest\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6516\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-6516\" title=\"Tribeca - Beats, Rhymes &amp; Life The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 580 326'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Tribeca-Beats-Rhymes-Life-The-Travels-of-A-Tribe-Called-Quest.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most pioneering and beloved groups of all-time, A Tribe Called Quest seminally defined the sound of an early-&#8217;90s New York hip-hop scene that reverberated across the nation.

Against the disharmonious backdrop of Apartheid and international liberation movements around the world, Makeba&#8217;s captivating melodies exposed the brutality and racism of the South African government and made her an early icon of Black freedom. Exiled from her homeland for nearly 30 years, Makeba moved to the US, but her controversial marriage to Black Panther Stokely Carmichael left her with revoked US record deals and cancelled national tours. In protest of an American brand of racism, Makeba moved to Guinea, where she continued her activism and leadership as the first black female representative to the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Point Blank &#8211; directed by Fred Cavay\u00e9 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2011\/04\/2011-tribeca-film-festival-preview\/tribeca-point-blank\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6529\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-6529\" title=\"Tribeca - Point Blank\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 580 387'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Tribeca-Point-Blank.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fred Cavay\u00e9&#8217;s heart-pounding thriller stars Gilles Lellouche (also in this year&#8217;s My Piece of the Pie) as Samuel, a father-to-be forced into a race to save his kidnapped wife, Nadia (Elena Anaya). Training to be a nurse, Samuel saves a man, Sartet (Roschdy Zem), after a brutal motorcycle crash.

Later, Sartet&#8217;s cohorts invade Samuel&#8217;s home, kidnap his wife right in front of him, and knock him out. When he awakes, the phone rings, and he is instructed to break Sartet out of the hospital in exchange for his wife.

Among a brother and sister with a dark secret, a kindly forest ranger and his old dog, and four tennis players waylaid by a pair of unhinged local cops, misunderstandings and fear pull Rabies&#8217; protagonists inexorably deeper into the infectious, indiscriminate violence foreshadowed in the film&#8217;s title.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"580\" height=\"390\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"https:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/v\/_qw2hfNKQuo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"580\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/v\/_qw2hfNKQuo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><strong>Roadie &#8211; directed by Michael Cuesta <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2011\/04\/2011-tribeca-film-festival-preview\/tribeca-roadie\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6531\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-6531\" title=\"Tribeca - Roadie\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 580 386'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Tribeca-Roadie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some people spend their adulthood living out their childhood dream.

On his last night in town, a near-miss bar fight in the old neighborhood leads to a chance run-in with his childhood crush Rebecca, now a grad student coping with a foundering academic career and a fraught relationship with her married academic advisor. Over the course of a single night, the two traverse a striking Minnesota cityscape, growing closer but knowing they will inevitably have to part ways at dawn. As the pair muse on the nature of life, fear, youth, and disappointment, at turns falling in love and falling apart, their journey mirrors that of a generation experiencing a collective quarter-life crisis.
