DIRTY DANCING –20th ANNIVERSARY– Thursday, April 26th
The Tribeca Film Festival and Lionsgate commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Dirty Dancing.  A Dirty Dancing contest, movie trivia and karaoke will kick off the festivities at 7:30 p.m. with the screening starting at 8:30 p.m. 
    
SURF’S UP – Friday, April 27th
The Drive-In goes Hawaiian with a special “work-in-progress” screening of SONY Pictures upcoming feature animated film Surf’s Up.  Complete with a luau including food, fun, flame jugglers and a special guest performance by The Kustard Kings, movie goers will also have the opportunity to compete in a limbo contest and learn to hula dance.  The luau begins at 7:30 p.m. with the screening starting at 8:30 p.m.
Surf’s Up is an animated comedy that delves behind the scenes of the high-octane world of competitive surfing. The film profiles teenage Rockhopper penguin Cody Maverick (Shia LaBeouf), an up-and-coming surfer, as he enters his first pro competition. Followed by a camera crew to document his experiences, Cody leaves his family and home in Shiverpool, Antarctica to travel to Pen Gu Island for the Big Z Memorial Surf Off.  Along the way, Cody meets surf nut Chicken Joe (Jon Heder), famous surf promoter Reggie Belafonte (James Woods), surf talent scout Mikey Abromowitz (Mario Cantone), and spirited lifeguard Lani Aliikai (Zooey Deschanel), all of whom recognize Cody’s passion for surfing, even if it sometimes goes too far.
Cody believes that winning will bring him the admiration and respect he desires, but when he unexpectedly comes face-to-face with a washed-up old surfer named Geek (Jeff Bridges), Cody begins to find his own way, and discovers that a true winner isn’t always the one who comes in first.

PLANET B-BOY – Saturday, April 28th
B-boy’s from all over the world will be at the final night of the Drive-In for a special dance tribute to James Brown prior to the screening of this Tribeca Film Festival world premiere film. In addition audience members will be taught a few breakdance moves.  Fab 5 Freddy is set to host with dancing begins at 7:30 p.m. with the screening starting at 8:30 p.m.

A powerful documentary about the vibrant global resurgence of break-dancing, Planet B-Boy goes inside the underground hip-hop dance scenes around the world, as the best crews prepare for the “The Battle of the Year” — an annual “World Cup” of b-boying. Director Benson Lee combines spectacular dance footage with poignant insight explaining why these dancers make tremendous sacrifices for their art.

The Tribeca Drive-In is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Programs begin at 7:30 p.m., with screenings starting at 8:30pm.
