NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Fresh off the news of her second engagement to Oscar-winner Ben Affleck, global superstar Jennifer Lopez is expected to give an intimate reflection of her career milestones and evolution as an artist at the 2022 Tribeca Festival world premiere of her documentary, "Halftime."
Before it premieres on Netflix on June 14, Tribeca will kick off with the film's premiere on June 8 at the United Palace in Washington Heights, just a stone's throw away from the 52-year-old's beloved Bronx.
"The Tribeca Festival has always been an activist festival — a celebration of entertainment and innovation in the midst of remarkable challenges. We’re thrilled to open with ‘Halftime,’ an inspirational documentary that spotlights Jennifer Lopez’s activism through her iconic Super Bowl halftime show," said Tribeca Festival Co-Founder and Tribeca Enterprises CEO Jane Rosenthal.
Organizers said the festival, sponsored by 1010 WINS, will unite diverse audiences via a curated lineup of one-of-a-kind events and experiences.
Film premieres, live concerts, performances, talks, and demonstrations will take place throughout New York City at some of the world's most iconic venues, including the Beacon Theater, the United Palace, Pier 57, Spring Studios, BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, SVA Theatre, Village East by Angelika, Cinépolis Chelsea, Waterfront Plaza at Brookfield Place, and Battery Park City.
"It’s an honor to be selected for the opening night of Tribeca, and so fitting to be celebrating this critical milestone in Jennifer’s life and career just miles from where she grew up," said "Halftime" director Amanda Micheli. "To have the opportunity to share this film on the big screen with a New York audience is a dream come true."
