Feature films from 31 countries, many of them about the struggles of everyday life and featuring stars such as Richard Gere, James Franco and Dakota Fanning will be screened at the 14th Tribeca Film Festival. Half of its slate of 97 feature-length films, including selections for the world narrative and documentary feature competitions and entries for its “Viewpoints” section, were announced by organizers on Tuesday. Frederic Boyer, artistic director of the festival, said in a statement, “We were inspired by, and really admire the ambition and risk-taking of the filmmakers who are striving to capture the emotion and complexities of everyday life in this year’s submissions.”
