The Tribeca Festival - the first in-person film festival in North America since the pandemic, which dropped Film from its official title Wednesday morning - returns today with 13 simultaneous screenings of the film In the Heights.
Pier 76 on the West Side will be one of the 13 screening locations for the film, finally being released after a year delay due to the pandemic.
Another screening will be the United Palace Theater in Washington Heights. Hudson Yards will serve as a second outdoor location.
For months, crews have been dismantling Pier 76 - an NYPD tow pound for more than 30 years before the city finally vacated it in January, the culmination of a legal battle with the state.

His son and musical collaborator, Tashi, confirmed the death but said the cause was not known.

Parkway Hospital in Forest Hills closed for good in 2008, and since then attempts to redevelop the 100,000-square-foot building and surrounding property have all flatlined.
Now, after a series of foreclosure auctions and scrapped proposals, a plan for its future has emerged.
A trio of new owners wants to redevelop the six-story building, with affordable units for seniors on those floors and newly built market-rate apartments over it. They would also build a 250,000-square-foot condo tower next to it, on the property.
The joint venture SYU Properties, Top Rock Holdings and RJ Capital paid $31.7 million last week for the site at 70-35 113th Street. The seller, Auberge Grand Central, once had grand dreams of its own for a residential conversion.
While Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer in the city, New Yorkers have already been filling the city’s green spaces, celebrating the joy of being together.
