The hottest seat going will be for the 2011 Tribecca Film Festival’s free outdoor screening of Cameron Crowe’s documentary "The Union". It premieres at 8:15 pm April 20, 2011.

What makes this night so special, is "The Union" chronicles the making of the 2010 album of the same name, a collaboration between Elton John and Leon Russell. Crowe is the director of the 2000 "Almost Famous". Fans of all three artists can’t wait to see what Crowe does in the documentary format with Elton and Leon.

The event will be co-sponsored by AOL, supported by Goldman Sachsand hosted by Brookfield Properties, the owner of the World Financial Center, the location of the outdoor festivities. And special thanks to ESPN.
