New York, NY, September 25, 2025 - The Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, today announced that its 25th edition will take place June 3-14, 2026 in New York City. For a quarter century, Tribeca has been a cultural force and global destination for groundbreaking storytelling across film, television, music, talks, podcasts, games, immersive experiences, and more.

The milestone 25th anniversary will celebrate Tribeca's legacy as a champion of independent voices and its ongoing commitment to shaping the future of entertainment. Since its founding, Tribeca has served as a launchpad for visionary filmmakers and artists, premiering early works from creators who would go on to redefine modern storytelling. This year, the Festival honors its vibrant alumni community-including Damien Chazelle (Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, TF 09), Jon M. Chu (When the Kids Are Away, TF 02), Ryan Coogler (Locks, TF 09), Nia DaCosta (Little Woods, TF 18), the Daniels (Possibilia, TF 14), David Gelb (King of Central Park, TF 06), Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, TF 07), Domee Shi (Bao, TF 18), and many more-whose journeys reflect Tribeca's enduring role in discovering, championing, and amplifying the voices that shape culture.

Twenty-five years ago, we started Tribeca to bring people back downtown following the 9/11 terrorist attacks and to bring storytellers and audiences together, said Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Co-Founder and CEO. Since then, Tribeca has become a home for bold ideas and powerful voices, a place where culture is shaped and new forms of storytelling are discovered. Our 25th Festival will honor where we've been and boldly look ahead.

As we celebrate 25 years of Tribeca, I'm reminded of why we started it in the first place: to support artists and bring people together through stories, said Robert De Niro, Tribeca Co-Founder. It's been incredible to see how the Festival has grown and evolved, and I couldn't be prouder of what it has become. This anniversary is about celebrating the artists, audiences, and New York City itself.

To mark this milestone, the Festival is opening its arms even wider to filmmakers and creators, offering more opportunities than ever before to premiere work across its TV, NOW, and Podcast categories.

Tribeca TV will now serve as the home for all episodic storytelling, inviting submissions from both independent voices and major studios. Tribeca NOW, first launched in 2014 as New Online Work, returns to its roots with an open call for social media creators and online storytellers. The category builds on the momentum of Tribeca's UpNext Creators program, which over the past two years has spotlighted rising talent-including inaugural UpNext Creator and TF 24 alum Veronika Slowikowska, who was recently tapped as a cast member for the upcoming season of SNL. Tribeca Podcasts-now entering its sixth year-continues to welcome audio storytellers from around the globe, expanding to include audiovisual podcast submissions and a new out-of-competition category. Together, these evolutions underscore the 25th Festival's commitment to inclusivity: more ways for storytellers to participate, more categories to submit to, and a wider range of work eligible for discovery on Tribeca's global stage.

In anticipation of this landmark year, Tribeca also announced promotions across its programming, operations, business, and Tribeca Studios teams. Casey Baron has been promoted to Senior Programmer, Film & Games; Shayna Maci Warner to Director of Programming Operations; David Speer to Vice President of Operations; Eileen Rodriguez to General Counsel, Executive Vice President of Legal & Business Affairs, Secretary to the Board; Megan Younger to Senior Vice President of Partnerships, Client Services, & Activation; Nellie Norden to Vice President of Program Development & Growth Initiatives; Gretchen Higgins to Vice President of Partnerships & Global Development; and Bryce Norbitz to Vice President of Tribeca Studios, Artist Development.
