About the
Festival: The Tribeca Film Festival is a film festival founded in 2002 by Jane
Rosenthal, Robert De Niro and Craig Hatkoff in a response to the September 11,
2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the consequent loss of vitality in
the TriBeCa neighborhood in Lower Manhattan.
The mission
of the festival is "to enable the international film community and the
general public to experience the power of film by redefining the film festival
experience." The Tribeca Film Festival was founded to celebrate New York City as a major filmmaking center and to
contribute to the long-term recovery of lower Manhattan
In 2006 and
2007, the Festival had over 8600 film submissions and 1,500 screenings. The
Festival's program line-up includes a variety of independent films including
documentaries, narrative features and shorts, as well as a program of
family-friendly films. The Festival also features panel discussions with
personalities in the entertainment world and a music lounge produced with ASCAP
to showcase artists. One of the more distinctive components of the Festival is
its Artists Awards program in which emerging and renowned artists celebrate
filmmakers by providing original works of art that are given to the filmmakers'
competition winners. Past artists of the Artists Awards program have included
Chuck Close, Alex Katz, and Julian Schnabel.
The
festival now draws an estimated three million people — including often-elusive
celebrities from the worlds of art, film, and music — and generates $600
million annually.
