The 2025 Tribeca Festival has revealed its feature-film lineup for this year’s event.
Among the highlights, this year’s festival will feature the world premiere of Miley Cyrus‘ Something Beautiful film, the visual companion to her album of the same name, which drops on May 30. After the screening of the film directed by Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter will be followed by a conversation with Cyrus.
The festival, which previously revealed its opening night film would be the Billy Joel documentary And So It Goes, will close with the Leonardo DiCaprio-produced Yanuni, directed by Richard Ladkani. The documentary that serves as both a love story and call to action follows Indigenous chief Juma Xipaia as she works to defend her people’s land alongside her husband, Hugo Loss, a Special Forces Unit ranger.
“Tribeca has always been more than a festival—it’s a home for artists navigating an ever-changing industry and an ever-changing world,” Tribeca Festival co-founder and Tribeca Enterprises CEO Jane Rosenthal said in a statement. “For over two decades, we’ve championed emerging voices, celebrated established storytellers and built a creative community where artists can grow, connect and thrive. We’re proud of the ecosystem we’ve cultivated and can’t wait to share it with the world this June.”
Additionally this year’s festival will feature the world premieres of Mariska Hargitay’s Jayne Mansfield documentary and docs about Barbara Walters (Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything), Andy Kaufman (Andy Kaufman is Me), Billy Idol (Billy Idol Should Be Dead), Metallica (Metallica Saved My Life), Depeche Mode (Depeche Mode: M), Culture Club (Culture Club), Counting Crows (Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately?) and Becky G (Rebecca aka Becky G) as well as a documentary about the fight to cure epidermolysis bullosa, including Eddie Vedder’s support for the cause (Matter of Time). Idol, Becky G and Vedder will perform after the screenings of their respective films while Metallica and Depeche Mode will participate in conversations after the premieres of their respective films.
Highlights among the feature film lineup include the live-action How to Train Your Dragon, starring Mason Thames, Nico Parker and Gerard Butler; the Rose Byrne, Demi Lovato and Octavia Spencer-starrer Tow; Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick co-starring for the first time in 20 years in The Best You Can; Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney in Everything’s Going to be Great and the Steve Zahn-written and -produced She Dances, in which he stars alongside Ethan Hawke.

“At Tribeca, we believe that storytelling is a force — one that connects us, challenges us, and
inspires us to reimagine what’s possible,” Tribeca Festival director and senior vp, programming Cara Cusumano said in a statement. “This year’s film lineup is a testament to that power, bursting
with creative risk, iconic artists and new perspectives that spark vital conversations and drive
culture forward. These films are a powerful reflection of the world we live in — and the world we
want to shape.”
The 2025 Tribeca Festival is set to run from June 4-15.
