The Tribeca Film Festival announced the second half of its 89-film slate on Wednesday, all in various out-of-competition sections. The 2013 lineup includes filmmakers from Richard Linklater to David Gordon Green to Whoopi Goldberg and stars like Paul Rudd, Melissa Leo, Julianne Moore and John Cusack.
Some of the films, like Linklater's "Before Midnight" and Green's "Prince Avalanche," will be continuing on the festival circuit after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. Others, like Goldberg's documentary "I Got Somethin' to Tell You" on the comedian Moms Mabley, will be showing for the first time.
