The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff as a response to the attacks on the World Trade Center. Conceived to foster the economic and cultural revitalization of Lower Manhattan through an annual celebration of film, music, and culture, the Festival's mission is to promote New York City as a major filmmaking center and help filmmakers reach the broadest possible audience.
The British Council works with the festival as part of the International Short Film Festival Submission Scheme. We also organised preview screenings of new British features for the festival programmers earlier in the year.
