Any reason given?

I always loved Tribeca Drive In movies. It is fun and a salsa documentary on top of that will be an icing on the cake.

 

[viosil2003]

Any reason given?

The abakua site says there were last minute changes in the festival's scheduled programming. I wonder if there were changes related to the SR performances as well. Didn't find anything in the Tribeca festival web site.

For those that missed this, it is being advertised on HBO now so check your local listings.

Do you have cable television and HBO? If so, check your local listings. If I hear about any other ways to see it, I'll try to post the information for you.
