A full month before fans get to dive into Madonna’s hotly anticipated Confessions II, Tribeca Festival attendees will get an early audiovisual peek into the Queen of Pop’s new era. On Friday (June 5), Madonna will return to Tribeca Festival for the world premiere of a 10-minute cinematic project, directed by David Toro and Solomon Chase (TORSO), centered around the first six tracks from Confessions II.
Following the screening, Madonna and the project’s directors will sit down with Jimmy Fallon to dive into their creative processes.
The film, which includes “I Feel So Free” and the Sabrina Carpenter collab “Bring Your Love,” is described in a press release as “a transcendent journey that catapults the viewer through a f–ked-up night out that’s remembered not for what happened, but for how it felt. Madonna is ambushed, pursued and ultimately worshipped by a roving squad of camera-wielding femmes. From the bedroom to the club bathroom, to the car, to the arena and even into nature, they cruise the many spaces in which music thrives. Inside these sanctuaries, we discover reflections on dualities that have accompanied Madonna’s entire career: privacy and publicity, grief and catharsis, intimacy and communion, fandom and collaboration. But everything always returns to the one, hallowed place that started it all: the dance floor.”
“Madonna has spent decades proving that reinvention is its own art form,” said Tribeca Festival cofounder Jane Rosenthal in the press release. “Confessions II feels immersive, provocative and completely of the moment, while still channeling the kind of nightlife mythology only she could create. We are thrilled to welcome Madonna back to Tribeca.” (Madonna previously appeared at Tribeca Festival 2008 for the premiere of I Am Because We Are, a documentary about children in Malawi orphaned by AIDS that she executive produced.)
In a previous chat with Billboard, Rosenthal explained that Madonna’s affinity for Tribeca — aside from the obvious New York City connection — is boosted by a personal connection. ”I’m really good friends with her manager, Guy Oseary, who has been with her almost as long as I’ve been with Bob,” Rosenthal said of her Tribeca Fest cofounder Robert De Niro. “She’s got an album dropping and it lined up perfectly.”
Confessions II, which reunites Madonna with Confessions on a Dance Floor producer Stuart Price, drops on July 3.
