Tribeca Festival music docs and movies, from Billy Joel to Miley Cyrus to Depeche Mode to Becky G.

And as new media continues to redefine film, that diversity extends to the cinematic perimeters of projects on this year’s lineup, which includes visual albums from Miley Cyrus ( Something Beautiful), Slick Rick ( Victory) and Turnstile ( Never Enough).
