    AceShowbiz –
    Robert De Niro’s Tribeca Film Festival will be the first major North American movie event to feature in-person screenings when the 2021 edition begins in June. A 12-day series of outdoor screenings will highlight the 20th anniversary of the first Tribeca, which was held months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York.

    Screenings will be held from June 9 at multiple venues, including The Battery, Empire Outlets, and The MetroTech Commons. Tribeca organizers will also host community screenings in all New York City boroughs using travelling screens. As part of its closing night festivities, the festival will commemorate the Juneteenth holiday.

    “After the 9/11 attacks, the Tribeca Film Festival helped set the stage for New York City’s incredible comeback – and helped spur a new golden age for film and TV production across the five boroughs,” former New York mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said in the festival’s press release. “This year the festival is once again shining a spotlight on our city’s resilience and creativity.”

    In a statement about the return of Tribeca, De Niro said, “The Tribeca Film Festival was born out of our mission to bring people together in the aftermath of 9/11. We’re still doing it. And as New York emerges from the shadow of Covid-19, it seems just right to bring people together again in-person for our 20th anniversary festival.”

    De Niro founded the festival with production partner Jane Rosenthal. In her release, Rosenthal stated, “Tribeca is a community of the most resilient and talented storytellers on the planet. In 20 years, our community of creators and partners have become a family. This summer we are excited to reunite as Tribeca becomes a centerpiece of live entertainment in neighborhoods across New York City.”

      “As human beings, we are navigating uncharted waters,” Tribeca Film Festival CEO Rosenthal told Deadline in a statement announcing the online move on Friday (April 03). “While we cannot gather in person to lock arms, laugh, and cry, it’s important for us to stay socially and spiritually connected.

We were founded after the devastation of 9/11 (2001 New York City terrorist attacks) and it’s in our DNA to bring communities together through the arts.”
      The festival will take place online on The Tribeca Industry Extranet Resource Hub on 15-26 April, the same dates as the original in-person gathering was due to take place.

      The event was due to take place from April 15 to 26, missing the Governor’s ban until April 12, but organisers have opted not to take any chances, according to Deadline.
      In a statement to the outlet, Tribeca co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises Jane Rosenthal writes, “We founded the Tribeca Film Festival as a way to heal our community after the devastation of the 9/11 attacks in 2001. We were determined to overcome our fear and anxiety by joining together. It is in our DNA to march forward while caring about our community.”

We are committed to ensuring the health and safety of the public while also supporting our friends, filmmakers and storytellers who look to Tribeca as a platform to showcase their work to audiences.
