The Tribeca Film Festival, renamed the Tribeca Festival in 2020, is an annual festival held each spring in New York City and organized by Tribeca Enterprises. It was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff to help revive Lower Manhattan after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The first edition opened on May 8, 2002 with About a Boy after 120 days of planning and more than 1,300 volunteers, and drew over 150,000 people. Over the years it widened from film to episodic work, talks, music, games, art and immersive programming, and in 2011 it became the first festival to recognize a video game, L.A. Noire. It now hosts over 600 screenings and awards independent artists in 23 juried competitive categories. The 2020 edition was cancelled during the pandemic and replaced by online programming and drive-in screenings.
