- [Pierre-Alexandre Despatis suffers for his cinema. Now covering his second edition, our official festival reporter and multi-function human cyborg will provide us the sights (plenty of cool pics!), the sounds, the reviews and the occasional interviews of the still very young 5th edition of the Tribeca film festival. Below are some of Pierre-Alexandre’s reviews in easy to read, insightful capsule form.

Yes, this could be a rather boring experience but we spectators are surprisingly active during the films, as we're trying to figure out what is going on based on the clues that gradually get revealed via a slow-moving camera. Certain elements of the films are somewhat annoying--for instance in one of the short films the characters in the background have sex without totally giving themselves to the scene and sometimes the camera movements are shaky and unstable.
