2017 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES ATTENDANCE AND LIVE STREAMING NUMBERS
16th Edition of Festival Features Unforgettable Moments On Screen and Off
NEW YORK, NY- April 29, 2017-After 12 days filled with world premiere film and television screenings, cutting-edge virtual reality experiences, the inaugural Tribeca Games Festival, momentous talks, and once-in-a-lifetime concerts and reunions, the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T, today announced an estimated attendance of more than 153,000 people to 531 screenings and talks, the virtual arcade, and games with an additional 3,800,000 people participating in 15 talks and post-film conversations from afar via Facebook Live. [Note: This is record-setting from recent years and surpasses last year's attendance, even though in 2016 there were 556 screenings and one of the main theaters being used in 2017 had its seats reconfigured to enhance the audience's movie-going experience, which resulted in 25% less total seating capacity.]
From April 19 - April 30, the Festival presented 97 features, 57 short films, 31 immersive storytelling projects, 15 television shows, and 16 N.O.W. (New Online Work) projects from 42 countries over the course of the 12 days.
With film always at our core, the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival continued to break boundaries - this year with television, virtual reality, online work, and gaming - to stay ahead of the convergence of storytelling mediums, said Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder of the Tribeca Film Festival and Executive Chair of Tribeca Enterprises. Bringing great stories and great storytellers to our growing audience, no matter what screen or platform, is why we continue to do what we do each year.
Below are highlights and clip handout of conversations, concerts, interviews, and select moments from the Festival:
