NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 16, 2026 - Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, today announced its 2026 feature and short film lineup. Taking place June 3-14 in New York City, the Festival will showcase 118 feature films-including a record 103 world premieres-alongside 86 short films. Founded in the aftermath of September 11 on the belief that storytelling unites communities, Tribeca has grown into a global platform for bold storytelling and emerging voices. This milestone edition reflects that legacy, bringing together acclaimed filmmakers, breakthrough talent, and major cultural figures for a cant miss, citywide celebration. Passes and ticket packages are on sale now at TribecaFilm.com, with the Hudson Pass offering the premier festival experience, including VIP access and an invitation to Opening or Closing Night.

Tribeca began twenty-five years ago as an act of healing, a mission to reunite our community through the power of storytelling. Today, that purpose feels more urgent than ever. As we navigate an increasingly divided world, the same spirit that rebuilt our city after 9/11 now fuels a new generation of artists and storytellers, said Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Festival Co-Founder and Co-Chair. This year's incredible feature and short film lineup includes stories from filmmakers who make us think, feel, laugh, cry, and ask why. Tribeca remains dedicated to the artists' voices and diverse perspectives that challenge us to see one another more clearly.

Over the past quarter century, Tribeca has become a premier destination for music-driven storytelling, and 2026 raises the bar once again. The Festival opens Wednesday, June 3 with the previously announced world premiere of Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial VS That's the Weight of the World) directed by Ahmir Questlove Thompson, followed by a special performance by Earth, Wind & Fire and The Roots, setting the tone for a celebratory, music-forward festival. The lineup continues with exclusive post-premiere performances from Sara Bareilles, Peter Frampton, Mumford & Sons, The LOX, Magdalena Bay, and Noga Erez & Ori Rousso. Closing Night, presented by OKX and 10 Lives Studios, features the world premiere of Alicia Keys: Girl From Hells Kitchen, directed by Tribeca alum One9 (TF 14) - a love letter to New York City from one of its own - followed by an appearance by Keys.

The 2026 feature film slate balances high-profile premieres with breakout discoveries, reflecting Tribecas role as both a launchpad and a showcase. Highlights include performances by Susan Sarandon and Aubrey Plaza in The Accompanist; Katie Holmes, who writes, directs, and stars in Happy Hours with Joshua Jackson; Alicia Vikander and Wagner Moura in The Last Day; Paul Rudd and Jeremy Sisto in Rain Reign; Vera Farmiga, Tim Blake Nelson, Jim Parsons, and Simon Rex in The Leader; Zach Braff in Clean Hands; Alison Brie, Andr Holland, Tom Sturridge, and Dustin Hoffman in The Revisionist; Andr Holland also stars alongside Wendell Pierce and Samira Wiley in They Fight; Marc Maron in In Memoriam; and Sofia Boutella, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lizzy McAlpine, Simon Pegg, and Quentin Tarantino in Only What We Carry. Select premieres, including The Accompanist, The Revisionist, Happy Hours and Iconoclast are presented by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

This year's documentary slate spans sports legends, intimate portraits, unlikely friendships, long-awaited reunions, and the complexities of political life. Highlights include Carmelo Anthony in Born Melo; tennis icons Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova in Chris & Martina: The Final Set; and Bob Odenkirk and David Cross in Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu. Nostalgia takes center stage as Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel, and Will Friedle reunite for the 30th anniversary of Boy Meets World in Doc Meets World, marking the final live performance of their hit rewatch podcast and the last stop on their national tour. Comedy legends including Will Ferrell, Maya Rudolph, and Dana Carvey reflect on presidential impressions in Playing POTUS, while Mario chronicles the life of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo. IX XI, directed by first-time filmmaker Sean Wilsey, weaves together twelve personal accounts of September 11-a subject close to Tribecas founding story. Miss Representation: Rise Up is followed by a post-screening conversation with Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, Dr. Safiya Noble, Nina Jankowicz, and Jim Steyer. Art-focused titles include Jean-Michel, the first documentary made with the full participation of the Basquiat family, exploring the life of Jean-Michel Basquiat; and Derek and Hayley Hough deliver a special perfor
