The 2015 Tribeca Film Festival (TFF) unveiled the lineup for its 2015 Tribeca Talks series on Monday.

The speakers include Christopher Nolan with Bennett Miller, George Lucas with Stephen Colbert, Cary Fukunaga with James Schamus, Brad Bird with Janeane Garofalo, Harvey Weinstein, Gus Van Sant, Courtney Love, Catherine Martin and Christiane Amanpour among others.

Tribeca Talks: After the Movie events give audiences the opportunity to watch a film and then listen to a related conversation with filmmakers and industry experts.

TFF also announced four additional feature documentary films that will screen during the Festival as part of the Tribeca Talks: After the Movie series — the world premieres of “CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap” and “The Diplomat,”  as well as the New York premieres of “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck” and “Misery Loves Comedy.”

Two advance premieres of new episodes from the anticipated Comedy Central series “Inside Amy Schumer” and Netflix’s “Chef’s Table,” one short film, “Les Bosquets,” and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s retrospective screening of “Good Will Hunting” round out the Tribeca Talks: After the Movie series.

“Each year, the conversations we offer are among the Tribeca’s most anticipated and sought-after events and we’re proud of the participants we’re going to hear from this year,” said Paula Weinstein, Executive Vice President of Tribeca Enterprises.

“These panels offer unique insights into the filmmaking process and give audiences an opportunity to learn from industry leaders across a wide range of subjects and contribute to the conversation.”

The Tribeca Talks panels and events will run during the 14th edition of TFF, taking place Apr. 15-26.
