New York City’s Tribeca Festival began in the aftermath of 9/11 as an effort to reinvigorate a traumatized city. Now for its 20th anniversary the festival again finds itself tasked with revitalizing the city following the extreme events of the pandemic.
Beginning Wednesday, the festival runs for 12 days with events in all five of New York City’s boroughs, showcasing around 70 features. (That’s down from more than 100 in pre-pandemic 2019.) Tribeca, which went virtual last year, is the first major film festival in North America to launch after widespread vaccinations and is placing a renewed emphasis on in-person events. Still maintaining a virtual presence, the festival’s online hub will feature premieres as well as encore presentations of films that first screened as in-person events.
