A scroll through any streaming service already yields a flood of music-centric films, but prepare for a new surge this year.
From durable veteran to blazing trendsetter, there’s a music documentary for that.
The Tribeca Film Festival in New York will launch dozens of new titles during its June 4-15 takeover of the city, spotlighting warhorses including Billy Joel, Billy Idol and Culture Club, and contemporary hitmakers such as Miley Cyrus and Becky G.
After Tribeca, most will move into the greater viewing universe, so if you can’t make it to the world premieres to see Slick Rick’s visual album or learn about Eddie Vedder’s work to help find a cure for the rare genetic disease epidermolysis bullosa, don’t fret.
Here’s a rundown of the most intriguing music documentaries on the docket. Check out the full list of Tribeca selections here.
