“This year, Tribeca’s games selections showcase creators who explore identity, emotion, and a sense of place through their games,” Tribeca’s VP of games and immersive Casey Baltes said in a statement last month.
“We are proud to highlight a range of cultural perspectives with exceptional artistry and storytelling from voices all around the world that will captivate audiences and stay with them long after the experience is over.”

Attendees of the physical Tribeca Festival will also be able to attend the world premiere of the new documentary Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds, which will take place on June 17 with Kojima attending for a Q&A session.
“Widely regarded as the first auteur of video games, this visually captivating documentary gives a rare insight into Hideo Kojima’s creative process as he launches his own independent studio,” according to the description accompanying the trailer.
