Madonna ‘s upcoming album, Confessions II , has inspired a cinematic visual work that will world premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival.

The June 5 screening will be followed by a conversation with the Queen of Pop, directors David Toro and Solomon Chase (TORSO) and Jimmy Fallon .

The Confessions II visual work is built around the first six tracks of Madonna’s upcoming album of the same name, including her first single, “I Feel So Free,” and “Bring Your Love,” with Sabrina Carpenter, and it weaves together interconnected, music -driven sequences into an immersive cinematic experience.

“ Confessions II lives in the tension between control and surrender, between being seen and disappearing into a crowd,” the festival said of the project in Tuesday’s announcement. “Each song unfolds across six chapters, each one a sexy thriller, a dance delusion, an epic fever dream. Like the album, it blurs distinction between tracks, building cosmic narratives that follow a twisted dream logic. The result is a transcendent journey that catapults the viewer through a fucked-up night out that’s remembered not for what happened, but for how it felt. Madonna is ambushed, pursued and ultimately worshipped by a roving squad of camera-wielding femmes. From the bedroom to the club bathroom, to the car, to the arena, and even into nature, they cruise the many spaces in which music thrives. Inside these sanctuaries, we discover reflections on dualities that have accompanied Madonna’s entire career: privacy and publicity, grief and catharsis, intimacy and communion, fandom and collaboration. But everything always returns to the one, hallowed place that started it all: the dancefloor.”

The post-screening conversation will explore the creative process behind the project.

“Madonna has spent decades proving that reinvention is its own art form,” Tribeca Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal said in a statement. “Confessions II feels immersive, provocative, and completely of the moment, while still channeling the kind of nightlife mythology only she could create. We are thrilled to welcome Madonna back to Tribeca.”
