The world premiere of Love, Gilda, a CNN Films documentary about comedian Gilda Radner, will open the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival on April 18.

The film is the directing debut of Lisa D’Apolito, who got support from Radner’s estate. By weaving together audiotapes, home movies and diary entries with interviews with friends and those she inspired, including many alums of Saturday Night Live, the movie is surely going to make a profound impact on audiences.

Radner died of ovarian cancer in 1989 at just 42. Although her career was cut short, she is known as one of comedy’s standout stars.

“As a festival that has always supported women’s voices and is largely run by women, we are incredibly proud to celebrate the inimitable voice of Gilda during the opening night of our festival,” said Jane Rosenthal, co-founder and CEO of the Tribeca fest. “Gilda Radner was a powerful comedic force of nature who opened doors and thrilled audiences while becoming one of the most prolific comedians of a generation. Her cutting-edge humor was second only to her dedicated leadership in cancer care with her eponymous Gilda’s Club.”
