UPDATE (14 April 2020): The 2020 Tribeca Film Festival has been postponed, but a selected part of its programming will be accessible online so that storytellers and audiences can still experience the event together – apart. On 17 April, the Immersive programme, including 15 VR films in the Cinema360 programme, will be available for home viewing in partnership with Facebook’s Oculus; audiences will also be able to watch the works by the Tribeca X Award (for branded storytelling) finalists via streaming links. For industry and press professionals, the Tribeca Industry Extranet Resource Hub will be launched as planned and will provide various resources linked to the programme, including rights availabilities, a delegate directory and sales contacts. Also, as part of the hub, an online screening library will be accessible, where selected titles from the original feature and short programmes will be available to be streamed immediately or upon request. Furthermore, the fifth edition of N.O.W. (New Online Work) Creators Market will unspool digitally (21-22 April), and through hundreds of 20-minute video pitch meetings, creators will communicate with distributors, producers and platforms. Finally, the juried awards will be delivered as scheduled, since the jury members will be able to stream all of the selected movies from home and deliberate on their decisions at the originally planned times.
The 19th Tribeca Film Festival has announced a “super-sized” feature-film line-up that mixes experienced and up-and-coming voices from the USA and around the globe. With a total of 114 titles – from among 3,385 submissions – directed by 124 filmmakers hailing from 40 countries, the festival will feature 95 world premieres in total. As always, the gathering will run in the eponymous neighbourhood in New York, from 15-26 April.
As every year, Tribeca’s International Narrative Competition will include ten films, three of them European co-productions, which will enjoy their world and international premieres and will be competing for the Best Narrative Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Actor and Best Actress Awards. Tribeca’s artistic director, Frédéric Boyer, commented on the selection: “The ten films in our International Narrative Competition reflect the power of political and artistic filmmaking from all over the world. From returning filmmakers to new voices, we will welcome and celebrate the diverse storytellers who will share their personal visions of their own cultures. Tribeca audiences will embark on ten journeys full of poetry and emotion in these innovative, international tales.”
