20th ANNUAL TRIBECA FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES SHORT FILM LINE-UP OF NARRATIVE, DOCUMENTARY AND ANIMATED SELECTIONS AT IN-PERSON SCREENINGS

NEW YORK - April 22, 2021 - The 2021 Tribeca Festival , presented by AT&T, today announced its 2021 Shorts Program lineup. The upcoming program includes 46 short films striking hopeful and optimistic tones from 20 countries worldwide. World Premieres account for 70% of the competition slate, which is the highest percentage in Tribeca history. The short films will be presented in eight programs: two documentaries, two narratives, two hybrids (including both narrative and documentary), one animation, and one New York shorts program. Additionally, the Festival will feature a special curated out-of-competition Juneteenth program and a live performance by Blondie, following the screening of Blondie: Vivir En La Habana. The 2021 Tribeca Festival will run June 9-20 with live in-person events at outdoor venues across all New York City boroughs.

Despite the challenges the industry faced this past year, filmmakers, artists, and storytellers were able to create compelling, entertaining, and thought-provoking content. The selections for each of these programs exemplify the tenacity, commitment and hope of the creative community; and also reflect Tribeca's long-standing history of selecting future award-winning films to be part of the festival.

"As we curated these in-person programs, we thought a great deal about the challenges of the past year and what our audience has been missing; travel, music, dance, and fun," said Sharon Badal, Vice President of Filmmaker Relations and Shorts Programming. "Our programs are lighter, brighter and inspiring. They introduce unique new voices to our audience."

International storytelling continues to be celebrated in this years Tribecas Short Film Program, with 41 percent of its selections originating from 20 different countries; including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Norway, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Qatar, Sweden, Sudan, United Kingdom, the United States and Wales.

Recipients of the Tribeca Festival awards for Best Narrative Short, Best Documentary Short, and Best Animated Short will qualify for consideration in the Academy Awards' Short Films category, provided the film complies with Academy rules. Tribeca also gives out a Student Visionary Award.

The 2020 Shorts Programs will be screened at the 2021 Festival and will include 64 short films in ten programs. The 2020 lineup is detailed here. Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind will perform after the screening of the 2020 Shorts Program Rhythm of Life at Brookfield Place New York.

Many of the films will also be available for U.S. audiences to view online the day after they premiere in person through the Tribeca at Home virtual hub.

Additional programming will be announced in the coming weeks. Follow @Tribeca on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and at tribecafilm.com/festival #Tribeca2021
