Founded after 9/11 as a way to use the arts to restore vitality and hope to the world, Tribeca exists because stories bring people together. We champion diverse storytelling and new perspectives, empowering emerging voices to be catalysts for change in their communities and around the world. Whether it’s film, television, VR, games, music, or immersive experiences, we are proud to create the space and platform to share these myriad stories.
