Tribeca 2025: “This Land” Documentary Short Film to Have NY Premiere

this-land“This Land,” a documentary short film directed by Mike Bradley, will have its New York premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Festival. The film is included in the Shorts: Common Ground program and will be screened on June 9, 14, and 15. The director is scheduled to attend all three screenings in person.

The film documents the formation of Ganienkeh, a self-governed Mohawk community in upstate New York.

Here’s the doc’s synopsis:

In 1974, a group of Mohawk Indians occupied a defunct girls’ camp in New York’s Adirondack Mountains and established a community they called Ganienkeh. Aiming to practice a more traditional lifestyle and asserting aboriginal title to the land, they stayed for three years, with occasional violent clashes with local residents.

In 1977, they negotiated a land swap with the State of New York and agreed to relocate to a permanent settlement near Plattsburgh, where the community remains. Ganienkeh is one of the only known examples of an Indigenous people reclaiming land from the United States, but it may not be the last.

James Tynion IV Releases Dates For Corpse Tour ’25

exquisite-corpsesJames Tynion IV and Tiny Onion have announced the first round of locations for Corpse Tour ‘25, the signing tour to support the new horror series from Image Comics, Exquisite Corpses. Tynion and members of the Exquisite Corpses creative team, dubbed the “Corpse Crew,” will stop at comic shops across North America, making each signing a unique event.

“I don’t think I’ve ever set out to do a signing tour of this scale, but we wanted to pull out all the stops for Exquisite Corpses,” said Tynion. “I couldn’t be more excited to visit a bunch of incredible shops across the country over these next 13 months, and to be joined by some of my amazing Corpse Crew collaborators along the way. Let the game begin!”

Each stop on Corpse Tour ‘25 will feature an intimate Q+A session with Tynion and guests, a signing, and a pop-up shop featuring exclusive tour merch only available at tour locations.

To kick off the tour, Tiny Onion and Revenge Of are combining forces to throw an Exquisite Release Party in Los Angeles. The release party will feature exclusive merch, giveaways, spooky refreshments and treats from Deadly Sweet Co., a signing with artist Alex Pardee, flash tattoos with Ghosted Tattoo Studio, and a giant Corpse Crew signing with Becca Carey, Che Grayson, James Tynion IV, Jordie Bellaire, Michael Walsh, Pornsak Pichetshote, and Tyler Boss.

In Exquisite Corpses, every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in America play a game. 12 of the deadliest people in the world are dropped into a small town with just one goal: last killer standing wins. For the citizens of Oak Valley, Maine—this year’s unlucky arena—the goal is much simpler. They must survive the night. The series will not only feature the work of Tynion IV and Walsh, but also a team of comics superstars. Each issue will build upon the last in a true ‘exquisite corpse’ game style, with a passing of the baton from creator to creator to unfold the story in a collaborative and competitive fashion.
