And for the first time, online viewers voted for the best Tribeca Film Festival Virtual films, including Best Feature and Best Short.
“Tribeca is a place of discovery, and I am enormously proud of the new voices that have emerged this year at the Festival,” said Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal. “This has been a year of expanding our horizons in terms of the audiences and reach of the Festival, but it is also has been a year when that enlarged platform has been enjoyed by many remarkable films.”
“Our jurors have dedicated themselves to the task of carefully considering the diverse films that were part of this year’s competition at the Festival,” said Nancy Schafer, Executive Director of the Festival. “We are grateful for their hard work and salute their choices along with the rest of our 2010 filmmakers.”
