What Is the Tribeca Film Festival?

The Tribeca Film Festival is an annual film and entertainment festival held in New York City, founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in the aftermath of 9/11 to help revitalize Lower Manhattan. Today it's grown into one of the most prestigious and eclectic festivals in the world, showcasing narrative and documentary features, shorts, television, and music. 

What Is the Tribeca Film Festival?

The Tribeca Festival takes place in New York City from June 3rd to June 14th, 2026. 

Where is the Tribeca Festival held?

The Tribeca Festival takes place across multiple venues in New York City, with screenings spread throughout Lower Manhattan and beyond. It's a city-wide celebration.

How do you get tickets to the Tribeca Film Festival?

Tickets are available through the official Tribeca Festival website at tribecafilm.com. Options typically include individual film tickets, multi-film packages, and industry passes. 

How is Tribeca different from other major film festivals like Sundance or SXSW?

Tribeca is uniquely rooted in New York City and emphasizes a broad, global representation from a variety of content. Tribeca is also notably accessible to general audiences, not just industry professionals. 

Tribeca has been home to early premieres and launches for a wide range of acclaimed films and documentaries over its history. Its alumni include directors and films that have gone on to Oscar nominations and wide theatrical releases.
