The three-day festival celebrates the universal, magical art of puppetry and the myriad ways in which the art form has been incorporated into live-action filmmaking. The lineup includes nine features, more than 20 shorts, special guests at most screenings, workshops for all ages, and a Dark Crystal extravaganza.

  • I Am Big Bird: the Caroll Spinney Story
    TRIBECA FILM AND COPPER POT PICTURES PRESENT I AM BIG BIRD: THE CAROLL SPINNEY STORY PRESS NOTES Release date – May 2015 PR CONTACT: Tribeca Film Tammie Rosen [email protected] 212 941 2003 Jordan Lawrence [email protected] 212 941 2038 I AM BIG BIRD: THE CAROLL SPINNEY STORY Press Notes “Big Bird is the most popular children’s character in the world and I think that’s largely due to Caroll.” Jim Henson, creator THE MUPPETS SHORT SYNOPSIS For 45 years, Caroll Spinney has been beloved by generations of children as the man behind Sesame Street's Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch - and at 80 years old, he has no intention of stopping. A loving portrait of the man in the yellow suit, I AM BIG BIRD features extraordinary footage of Spinney's earliest collaborations with Jim Henson as it traces his journey from bullied child to childhood icon. And as the yellow feathers give way to grey hair, it is the man, not the puppet, who will steal your heart. LONG SYNOPSIS Caroll Spinney has been Sesame Street’s Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch for over 40 years. He’s dined with heads of state, won Emmys and been named a living legend by the Library of Congress. He’s handpicked a successor who has waited, quite literally, in the wings, as his understudy for almost 20 years. But while Caroll’s peers have long since slipped into cozy retirements or pursued other dreams, he has held on with no intention of retiring. Yielding the Bird would mean saying goodbye to characters that are a true expression of his soul, characters that he loves and cherishes like his own children.
