Tribeca Enterprises and YouTube have debuted the biggest online film festival possibly in history, with the 10-day project We Are One: A Global Film Festival, that started on May 29 at YouTube.com/WeAreOne.
With a number of acclaimed films and pre-recorded conversations from 21 festivals, it might be difficult to keep track of — and more importantly choose — which ones to watch.
The various participating festivals include Berlin, Cannes, Venice, Sundance, Toronto and New York, among others, with various time schedules alloted to features, short films, filmmaker perspectives, interviews, conversations and so on.
Here is a guide to ten of the most essential films and events to watch over the course of the next 10 days:

June 5, 4.15 AM IST
After losing a close friend to suicide, a group of college students from the University of Missouri was determined to enact positive change.

An ordinary day unfolds for a warmhearted street salesman in southern India, as he tries to make a loving home for his family while warding off the anti-Muslim sentiment of his neighbors.

On a visit to Prague from New York, the renowned private detective Nick Carter must solve a mysterious disappearance...and face off against a music-loving, flesh-eating plant.

Mati Diop’s richly textured documentary tells the story of a young boy’s (Serigne Seck) tragic migratory voyage in Senegal. The project came to fruition before Diop made history and achieved fame as the first black woman to contest for the Palme d’Or with the Atlantics feature film.
