Marvel's The Avengers
Jonathan Holiff’s documentary My Father And The Man In Black.
NXNE
Johnny Cash, Yoko Ono and Jane Bunnett are among the artists to be featured in NXNE’s 2012 film component, the festival announced yesterday. Yngwie Malmsteen’s in there too, because NXNE is nothing if not democratic.

Hot Docs
Nisha Pahuja allows that the screenings of her documentary The World Before Her went well at Tribeca. They were well attended and audience members asked decent questions.
