Robert De Niro - The National Tour Documentary To Open De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival

The screening of Mistaken For Strangers on 17 April (13) will be followed by a performance from the Brooklyn-based band, fronted by the director's brother, who also co-produced the project.

The singer says, "We're really happy to premiere this movie at Tribeca, as New York has been home to us for these past 15 years. I was happy to give my brother whatever access he needed. I just didn't expect this movie to include shower scenes."

The filmmaker adds, "When my brother asked me along on tour as a roadie, I thought I might as well bring a camera to film the experience. What started as a pretty modest tour documentary has, over the last two and a half years, grown into something much more personal, and hopefully more entertaining. It's a huge thrill to be showing this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival."

The film's premiere comes a month before the release of the group's new album - the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed High Violet.
