Tribeca Film Festival reveals competition slate

The annual New York Film Festival, now in its 15th year, has unveiled half of the films on its 101-feature lineup. 55 titles make up the competition slate this year, which will feature a selection of UA talent.

Featuring in the 'Viewpoints' section of the competition will be Rachel Tunnard's ADULT LIFE SKILLS and Chris Smith's DETOUR.

Rachel wrote, directed and edited ADULT LIFE SKILLS, her debut feature, as an extension to her BIFA and BAFTA nominated short film EMOTIONAL FUSEBOX. Starring Jodie Whitaker, it tells the story of a young woman experiencing an early mid-life crisis who lives in a shed at the bottom of her mum's garden. 

DETOUR, starring Gbenga Akinnagbe and Stephen Moyer, follows a young law student after his mother ends up in a coma under suspicious circumstances. After a drunken night in a seedy bar, he wakes to the realization that he may have hired a hitman to take out the suspected perpetrator of his mother's accident.

The festival runs from the 13th to the 24th April.
