About the Tribeca Festival
The Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, brings together artists and diverse audiences to celebrate storytelling in all its forms, including film, TV, immersive experiences, games, audio storytelling, music, and online work. With its roots in independent film, Tribeca is a platform for creative expression and immersive entertainment. The festival champions emerging and established voices, discovers award-winning filmmakers and creators, curates innovative experiences, and introduces new technology and ideas through premieres, exhibitions, talks, and live performances.
The festival was founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in 2001 to help revitalize lower Manhattan economically and culturally following the attacks on the World Trade Center. Tribeca will celebrate its 22nd year from June 7–18, 2023.
In 2019, James Murdoch’s Lupa Systems, a private investment company located in New York and Mumbai, purchased a majority stake in Tribeca Enterprises, bringing Rosenthal, De Niro, and Murdoch together to grow the enterprise.
