An early summer scene on the Rhine. All photos courtesy of Gracie Hadland. I was determined to not spend a cent while in Basel. I left the buying and selling to everyone else. Except for a tube of toothpaste (1.20 CHF), cigarettes (Parisiennes, 9 CHF), a cab back to the hotel when the train stopped (15 CHF), and a beer when the open bar closed but the party was still going (6 CHF), I was pretty successful.

Still from Martha Atienza's “TARING KAONGKGOD” series, 2019. Image courtesy of the artist and Silverlens. Basel is divided by the river Rhine, which cleaves the Swiss city’s historic side from the bustle of its modern-day center. The left bank is where Art Basel’s Parcours section, the fair’s free public offering, began exhibiting last year.

If you spend more than 20 minutes on a gallery crawl in Tribeca, Bloomsbury, or Kreuzberg, you’re likely to overhear someone talking in hushed tones about the worrying state of the art market. But such doom-and-gloom threatens to overshadow another equally relevant truth: The past five years have seen a flourishing new crop of ambitious galleries taking root in cities around the globe. The pandemic ushered in a wave of experimentation, of why-not-now, that has enriched the art world tremendously.

Tribeca is not Toronto, nor Venice, nor Berlin. Those splashy late summer and fall festivals tend to be when Hollywood trots out its show ponies, and the race for awards kicks off. In contrast, the 118 films—a hodgepodge of indies, docs, shorts, foreign films, experiments, cartoons, and corporate pitches—competing at the Tribeca Film Festival can afford to be a little less determined, and a little more downtown, in their celebration of filmmaking.
