Even if you're not being swarmed with invites to parties and screenings during this year's Tribeca Film Festival, that doesn't mean you can't get in on the action. There's plenty of free (and open to the public) events during the fest and there are even a few opportunities to hear the directors and actors talk about their projects. Head to the Apple Store at 401 W. 14th St. this weekend and next week for the chance to hear everyone from Morgan Spurlock to Emily Blunt talk about their films during free panel discussions.
