Tribeca Festival Raising The Curtain On 2024 With Co-Founder Robert De Niro Front And Center
deadline.comThe June skies are clear as the Tribeca Festival gathers indie filmmakers from around the globe with a large slate of features and shorts, music, games, TV, audio storytelling and a major addition this year in De Niro Con, a tribute to the prolific actor and Tribeca co-founder.
The fest moved from April to June in part for the weather but that can’t be taken for granted — last year’s edition opened to a city blanketed with acrid smoke from Canadian wildfires as Mayor Eric Adams handed De Niro the key to the city at a press conference and Tribeca unveiled De Niro Con.
Fan events and screenings with star power from Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Billy Crystal, Ben Stiller, David O. Russell, Christopher Walken and others will unspool over the last four days of the festival.
Other retrospectives and reunions will see Steven Spielberg screen and discuss his 1974 feature film debut The Sugarland Express, and David Chase with the cast of The Sopranos on the show’s 25th anniversary.
