About the Tribeca Film Festival
The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane
Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff after the attacks on the World Trade Center to
help economically and culturally revitalize Lower Manhattan through an
annual celebration of film, music, and culture. The Festival's mission is
to assist filmmakers to reach the broadest possible audience, enable the
international film community and the general public to experience the power
of film, and to promote New York City as a major filmmaking center.
In its first five years, the festival attracted over 1.5 million attendees from the US and abroad and created more than $325 million in economic activity for New York City.
The sixth annual Tribeca Film Festival will run from April 25th to May 6th, 2007. The festival is anchored in Tribeca with additional venues throughout Manhattan, and includes film screenings, special events, concerts, a family street fair, and Tribeca Talks panel discussions.
