Questlove and Earth, Wind & Fire Just Made Tribeca’s 25th Birthday Pure Magic
- Questlove’s new documentary premieres.
- Earth, Wind & Fire performs a live set.
- Robert De Niro gets real about the government.
We just saw the most electric night in New York. The Tribeca Festival turned 25 on Wednesday. It didn’t just walk in. It exploded. Fun. Loud. Electric.
Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson brought his new movie to the big screen. It’s a documentary about the legends, Earth, Wind & Fire. The visual style of the film is stunning. Think bright, saturated colors and a retro aesthetic that feels warm.
After the movie, the music started. The band played a short, loud set. Questlove even joined in on the drums with The Roots. The whole room was dancing in their seats. It was a total vibe.
Robert De Niro also took the stage. He had some very strong words. He called the current government “monstrous.” He has never been one to stay quiet, and he didn’t start now.
While we talk about big stars, check out what Palak Tiwari and Ibrahim Ali Khan are up to. Are they hiding from the cameras? We have the scoop on that duo.
The night felt really special. Founders Jane Rosenthal and De Niro looked back on 25 years. They said the festival just kept rolling along. Now, it is a massive event that everyone waits for.
Speaking of things moving fast, have you heard about the Canadian government and streaming money? It is a bit of a mess right now. They might be backtracking.
Celebrity life isn’t always easy, though. Ranvir Shorey recently spilled the tea on how projects get cancelled. Sometimes actors end up with nothing at all after a lot of hard work.
Our Take
We think this was the perfect way to celebrate 25 years. Music and movies belong together. The gold and orange lights on stage made everything look like a dream. We need more of this creative energy in the world.
