The Tribeca Film festival starts tomorrow in New York City and will run until May 3rd. Over 250 films will be screened during this week long event. The festival was founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro as a response to the 9/11 attacks. The festival’s mission is “to enable the international film community and the general public to experience the power of film by redefining the film festival experience.” It’s emerged as one of the world’s leading film festivals and is a lot of fun with several events embedded in the art, fashion, music and culture of New York City.
