Tribeca 2021 highlights: Best films from this year’s virtual festival, from Ascension to The Novice

Firstpost  

Founded in the wake of 9/11, Tribeca Festival celebrated its 20th anniversary as the cinephiles of New York emerged from the shadow of a pandemic.

Ascension The meaning of the word “Orwellian” may be overused and overstretched nowadays, but it’s really the most fitting descriptor for Jessica Kingdon’s absurdist portrait of contemporary China as the world’s factory. The Lost Leonardo Thought to be the last known Leonardo da Vinci painting, “Salvator Mundi” comes with the sort of sordid history of changing hands that makes for a gripping film.
