NEW YORK, NY- April 16, 2018 - The Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T, today announced the members of ten juries, which reflect the tone and texture of the annual cultural showcase, which celebrates storytelling in film, television, virtual reality, music and games. The jurors will be tasked with honoring the new works of emerging and established members of the creative community with unique art awards and cash prizes as they present their works at the annual Festival. Mirroring the breadth of Tribeca's programming, the team of jurors include acclaimed filmmakers, award-winning actors, noteworthy producers, and cultural leaders. The Festival takes place April 18-29 in New York City.
Over 35 industry professionals have been selected to award work covering both feature-length and short film categories comprised of narratives and documentary films as well as Storyscapes, the juried section of the Virtual Arcade, presented by AT&T. The jurors will also present the Tribeca X Award, celebrating branded storytelling at the intersection of advertising and entertainment.
The Festival will announce the winner of the sixth annual Nora Ephron Award, presented by CHANEL, which will be selected by a jury composed of women firmly entrenched in the entertainment industry. The award was created to honor the spirit and vision of the legendary filmmaker and writer Nora Ephron.
Each year we engage some of the most seasoned members of the creative community to collaborate with us on our juries, commented Jane Rosenthal, co-founder, Tribeca Film Festival and Executive Chair Tribeca Enterprises. Whether it's the Nora Ephron Award for a women filmmaker, the Albert Maysles Award for a new documentary director, or the Storyscape Award for immersive storytelling, we continue to grow and expand our Tribeca family with the help of the acclaimed artists and creators on our jury.
