Preview: Tribeca Film Festival 2011

The 10th annual fest kicks off tomorrow night with a free outdoor public screening of Cameron Crowe’s new documentary “The Union,” about the creative collaboration between Elton John and iconic keyboardist Leon Russell, to be followed by a free performance by Elton John. Double whammy!

It starts at 8:15 p.m. at the World Financial Plaza, at the north end of the World Financial Center. Admittance is first-come, first-served, and all attendees will need wristbands to get in. They’ll be handed out starting at 4 p.m., and you can get them at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, at 199 Chambers St. along the West Side Highway. Godspeed getting those wristbands!
