This year’s 13th annual Tribeca Film Festival is coming up starting April 16 and closing April 27, 2014. Founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff it helped bring the community of New York City and visitors back to Lower Manhattan and revitalize the neighborhoods which had been avoided and devalued since the 9/11 attack that year. The neighborhood, which stands for the “Triangle Below Canal Street”, today is a thriving center of culture, art and creativity.
Today the Tribeca Film Festival brings crowds of up to 3 million people every year including many big named celebrities and supports local Tribeca restaurants and hotels. The Festival has become a major film industry event, promoting New York City as a filmmaking hub and helping filmmakers, both new and established, to reach new audiences.
Films are chosen from over 5,000 submissions, this year there will be almost 100 feature-length films and 60 shorts screened as well as multiple panel discussions with filmmakers and actors.
