This afternoon, the Tribeca Film Festival formerly announced that Tennessee will be appearing as part of the Discovery slate of films. Hollywood Reporter noted that, while “Some established stars also can be found … arguably, more eyes will eagerly await the world premiere of Aaron Woodley’s ‘Tennessee,’ featuring [Mariah] Carey (’Glitter’) as Krystal, a free spirit who joins two brothers on a search to find their father.”

We’ve compiled some ticket info for everybody after the jump and we’ll get more specific scheduling info posted as soon as possible.

Update (March 14, 2008):
Commenter Jeane brought us the news that indieWIRE had posted a full run-down of the films from the Discovery slate, which includes thirty films, with eighteen World, one International and eleven North American Premieres from up-and-coming directors. In a statement, Peter Scarlet, Artistic Director of the Tribeca Film Festival, said, “With so many new voices and talent in filmmaking today, it is always a thrill to be able to find exciting new artists and introduce them to our audience in our Discovery section.”

Tennessee is described as an “intimate road movie,” in which “two brothers travel to the hometown they fled as teenagers to find their estranged father. When they are joined by a spirited woman (Mariah Carey) running from her abusive husband, they begin to grow closer, and the truth of their journey comes to light.”
