The 25th edition of the Tribeca Festival has been set for June 3 to June 14 in New York City.
The 25th anniversary will celebrate Tribeca’s legacy of supporting independent filmmakers and the future of entertainment. The festival will celebrate past alumni such as Damien Chazelle, Jon M. Chu, Ryan Coogler, Nia DaCosta, the Daniels, David Gelb, Alex Gibney, Domee Shi and more.
“Twenty-five years ago, we started Tribeca to bring people back downtown following the 9/11 terrorist attacks and to bring storytellers and audiences together,” said Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Co-Founder and CEO. “Since then, Tribeca has become a home for bold ideas and powerful voices, a place where culture is shaped and new forms of storytelling are discovered. Our 25th festival will honor where we’ve been and boldly look ahead.”
“As we celebrate 25 years of Tribeca, I’m reminded of why we started it in the first place: to support artists and bring people together through stories,” said Robert De Niro, Tribeca Co-Founder. “It’s been incredible to see how the festival has grown and evolved, and I couldn’t be prouder of what it has become. This anniversary is about celebrating the artists, audiences, and New York City itself.”
In additions to feature film categories, sections of the festival include Tribeca TV for all episodic storytelling, Tribeca NOW for social media creators and online storytellers and Tribeca Podcasts, expanding to include audiovisual podcast submissions and a new out-of-competition category.
Tribeca staff promotions include: Casey Baron has been promoted to Senior Programmer, Film & Games; Shayna Maci Warner to Director of Programming Operations; David Speer to Vice President of Operations; Eileen Rodriguez to General Counsel, Executive Vice President of Legal & Business Affairs, Secretary to the Board; Megan Younger to Senior Vice President of Partnerships, Client Services, & Activation; Nellie Norden to Vice President of Program Development & Growth Initiatives; Gretchen Higgins to Vice President of Partnerships & Global Development; and Bryce Norbitz to Vice President of Tribeca Studios, Artist Development.
