Experiencing the films and events with our audiences over the past 12 days has been incredible, said Jane Rosenthal, co-founder, Tribeca Film Festival. It is so rewarding to watch their reactions and hear them engage with our filmmakers at the Q&As after the screenings. It proves there is no better audience than New Yorkers!
Audiences from across the country received front row access to exclusive Tribeca content through the fourth annual Tribeca Online Festival (TOF), which returned with free streaming of a selection of three world premiere features and four shorts, as well as panel conversations with filmmakers and the TFF awards ceremony. TOF also hosted a new online contest, the #6SECFILMS Vine Competition, a juried competition using the six-second, micro-movie making app, as well as video highlights from the Future of Film Live conversation series, featuring seven talks during TFF with filmmakers and industry leaders on the evolution of the film industry.

Despite the unseasonable weather, more than 6,000 visitors came out for the free, outdoor films and participated in games and activities, including movie trivia, a live bird show performance, a ghoulish costume contest, face painting, prize giveaways and more.
Festival organizers and NYPD Community Affairs Officer Gene Schatz estimated that a crowd of 325,000 enjoyed the signature Tribeca Family Festival Street Fair and Tribeca/ESPN Sports Day on Saturday, April 27, including live performances from the casts of Broadway shows and visits from New York sports teams in the Tribeca neighborhood. The day also featured a sneak preview of the upcoming summer comedy The Smurfs 2, alongwith a free family screening The Smurfs withappearances by cast members. More than 2,400 attended the Festival's free talks, including the Future of Film Live program, and the Tribeca Talks: Industry and Tribeca Talks: Pen to Paper panel discussions.
The 2013 Festival closed with the 30th Anniversary of Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy, restored in association with The Film Foundation, Regency Enterprises and Twentieth Century Fox. The screening was followed by a Q&A with Scorsese and cast members Robert De Niro and Jerry Lewis.
