Tribeca Film Festival to proceed, in part, online
Associated PressNEW YORK — The Tribeca Film Festival, postponed by the pandemic, is moving some elements of its annual New York event online. Tribeca organizers said Friday that much of its programming will be available either to the public or to the film industry over roughly the same days that the festival would have taken place in April. Tribeca is still hoping to hold a festival in the fall, but Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca’s co-founder and chief executive, acknowledged that would be a smaller scale event taking place over fewer days. Getting those films seen by industry and sales people is vital to those creators.” Some elements of Tribeca will go straight to viewers, including the festival’s virtual reality and immersive storytelling entries and the advertising exhibition, Tribeca’s X Awards.
