2018 Tribeca Film Festival to Open With World Premiere of 'Love, Gilda'
von Clayton Davis
The 2018 Tribeca Film Festival will open with the world premiere of the documentary, "Love, Gilda."
The film celebrates the life and talent of award-winning comedienne Gilda Radner. It includes home movies, diary entries, and interviews from friends and fans including: Bill Hader, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Cecily Strong. It also includes interviews with original "SNL" cast members Chevy Chase, Laraine Newman, and Paul Shaffer; and Lorne Michaels ("SNL" creator and producer), Alan Zweibel ("SNL" writer), Stephen Schwartz (Broadway composer); Andrew Alexander (CEO of Second City), and long-time friend and actor Martin Short.
Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder and CEO of the Tribeca Film Festival discussed the reason organizations chose "Love, Gilda" to open the fest:
"As a Festival that has always supported women’s voices and is largely run by women we are incredibly proud to celebrate the inimitable voice of Gilda during the opening night of our Festival. Gilda Radner was a powerful comedic force of nature who opened doors and thrilled audiences while becoming one of the most prolific comedians of a generation. Her cutting edge humor was only second to her dedicated leadership in cancer care with her eponymous Gilda’s Club."
Gilda Radner appeared in several feature films and television series. But it was her run as an original cast member on "Saturday Night Live" that gave her the enduring legacy that has lasted nearly thirty years after her passing. She won a Primetime Emmy for Supporting Actress during her time on "SNL." She also received two additional nominations for the series, and one as a guest star on "It's Garry Shandling's Show" in 1986.
Adding to Rosenthal's statement, Paula Weinstein, Executive Vice President of Tribeca Enterprises said"
"Love, Gilda" is the right film at the right time and the perfect way to open our Festival. Gilda is a woman for the ages, an extraordinary talent in film, television, and theater who overcame her personal struggles to make us laugh, to make us cry. She understood the healing power of laughter not simply for her audience but in her own life as she struggled with cancer and lead the way for all of us to make the world a better place."
"Love, Gilda" opens the festival on April 18.
The Tribeca Film Festival runs April 18-29.
