At Tribeca’s official family night, they will be screening The Birth of Big Air. In 1985, at the tender age of 13, Mat Hoffman entered into the BMX circuit as an amateur. By 16, he had soared to the top of the sport. Throughout his prodigious career, Hoffman has ignored conventional limitations, instead focusing his efforts on the purity of the sport and the pursuit of “what’s next.” Academy Award® nominee Spike Jonze and extreme sport fanatic Johnny Knoxville, along with director Jeff Tremaine, showcase the inner workings and exploits of the man who gave birth to “Big Air.”

Tribeca Drive-in opens at 6:00 pm. Activities and programming begin at 6:30 pm. Film screenings start at dusk (approx. 8:15 pm).
