‘Live From New York,’ An ‘SNL’ Doc, Will Open This Year’s Tribeca Film Festival

Live, from New York, it’s the new “Saturday Night Live” documentary, “Live From New York!” Directed by Bao Nguyen, the new film will open this year’s Tribeca Film Festival on April 15.

“‘SNL’s’ contribution to the arts and to pop culture has been — and continues to be — groundbreaking, and ‘Live From New York!’ offers an inside look at the show’s inimitable ability to both reflect and impact American news, history and culture,” Tribeca Film Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal said in a press release. “This is the story of a creative journey from pilot to institution and a tribute to the moments that kept us laughing and talking long after the episodes aired.”

The Tribeca Film Festival runs from April 15 to April 26. More information on this year’s fest is available at the Tribeca website.
