The Tribeca Festival, founded by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal to revitalize Lower Manhattan after 9/11, is back for its 23rd year. This year, the festival promises lots of fun, stars, great films, and new voices.
Featuring over 100 films, series premieres, talks, and reunions, attendees can expect to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “The Sopranos,” the 40th anniversary of “Footloose,” and the 50th anniversary of “The Sugarland Express.” The festival also highlights women in film, with half the competition films directed by women, including the opening night documentary “Diane von Furstenberg, Woman in Charge.”
De Niro Con, a three-day fan celebration dedicated to Robert De Niro, will showcase screenings, reunions, memorabilia from the actor’s collection, and discussions with his long-time collaborators like Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese.
Overall, the Tribeca Festival is set to be a star-studded event with a diverse lineup of films and events for film enthusiasts to enjoy.
