What is going on besides movies?

The Tribeca Film Festival is much more than just movies. With the Tribeca ESPN Sports Film Festival, Tribeca Family Festival Street Fair, the various panel series, events, and special presentations for working and aspiring filmmakers, you could be quite entertained without entering a theater... not that we recommend that.

What makes Tribeca Film Festival screenings different from any other movie?

• The director, cast, and crew are often on hand for a Q & A after the screenings.
• The films chosen from nearly 5,000 submissions are from every corner of the globe and offer almost as many perspectives as New Yorkers have opinions.
• Almost every film is a North American, international, or even world premiere, so you could be among the first to see the next big hit.

Are the films rated?

Many of our films have not yet been reviewed by the Motion Picture Association of America and therefore do not have an MPAA rating (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17). However, the film information provided in the Online Film Guide and the printed Festival Guide will help you make informed choices.
