World premieres for A Good Old Fashioned Orgy and documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne are Tribeca-bound as festival organisers announced the Spotlight, Cinemania and special screenings roster.

“Now that the majority of the programme has been announced I believe you will see the rich variety and quality of the films and talent that we are presenting at Tribeca this year,” director of programming David Kwok said. “The programme is about both discovery and showcasing a broad range of filmmaking to our eclectic and diverse audiences who are passionate about film.”

The fifth annual Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival, which takes place during TFF, will feature the world premiere of Alex Gibney’s Catching Hell as the centerpiece Gala. The film explores the relationship between Chicago Cubs fans and Steve Bartman following his infamous near-catch of a foul ball in Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series.

The remaining features will be announced on March 23. The short film programme will be announced on March 16. The 10th edition of the festival will run from Apr 20-May 1 in lower Manhattan.
