Tribeca mainstays and longtime friends of the Festival Spike Lee and Ed Burns sit down for a conversation with Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal and director Matt Tyrnauer to reflect on the founding of the Festival as an act of urban renewal and radical optimism; its evolution over 25 years into one of the world’s most vital cultural gatherings; and its continuing role in shaping New York’s cultural landscape. They will share real stories, defining bets, near failures, and insights into where Tribeca and culture are headed next. Tribeca has always been about the power of storytelling to bring us together. In honor of our 25th anniversary, we invite our community to come together again for this candid conversation about the risks, reinventions, and cultural moments that define Tribeca.
