The 26th Annual Tribeca Festival, taking place in Lower Manhattan, New York City from June 3 to June 12, 2027, stands as one of the world's most dynamic and multidisciplinary cultural gatherings. Founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in the aftermath of September 11 to rejuvenate downtown Manhattan, Tribeca has evolved into a global epicenter celebrating independent cinema, innovative storytelling, video games, immersive technology, audio podcasts, and live music.
Spanning iconic venues from Spring Studios and the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center to Village East by Angelika and SVA Theatre, Tribeca 2027 screens over 100 feature films from dozens of countries. The festival's competition categories champion bold, idiosyncratic voices across narrative drama, boundary-pushing non-fiction documentaries, and midnight genre films, capped by star-studded red carpet world premieres and the prestigious Nora Ephron Prize.
Unlike traditional film festivals, Tribeca was among the earliest to recognize cross-media convergence. Tribeca Immersive transforms Spring Studios into an interactive spatial showcase of virtual reality, augmented reality, and holographic installations. Concurrently, Tribeca Games honors interactive gaming masterpieces that elevate narrative worldbuilding, while the Tribeca Audio program premieres narrative podcasts and audio fiction with live creator Q&As.
Beyond theater auditoriums, the festival features intimate Tribeca Talks pairing cinema titans with rising creators, the Creators Market for project financing and acquisition, and free outdoor sunset screenings against the Manhattan skyline at waterfront piers. Tribeca 2027 invites cinema enthusiasts and international industry leaders to celebrate the indomitable creative spirit of New York City.

The festival was founded in 2002 by acclaimed actor Robert De Niro, producer Jane Rosenthal, and investor Craig Hatkoff following the September 11 attacks.
