The highly anticipated 2023 Tribeca Festival has announced its lineup for this year’s celebration of storytelling. As always, we’ll feast on a bounty of feature narrative, documentary, and animated films. The festival, which takes place June 7-18, showcases up-and-coming talents from across the globe alongside renowned industry leaders.
This year’s lineup includes 109 films from 127 filmmakers that represent 36 countries. There are an impressive 93 world premieres, one international premiere, eight North American premieres, one U.S. premiere, and six New York premieres. Not to mention that 43 of the films are directorial debuts.
In addition to these exciting prospects, the festival is also highlighting a collection of films directed by actors, including Bucky F*cking Dent by David Duchovny, First Time Female Director by Chelsea Peretti, Maggie Moore(s) by John Slattery, Fresh Kills by Jennifer Esposito, and Eric LaRue by Michael Shannon, among others.
“The Tribeca Festival is a celebratory event that honors artists and uplifts attendees, and this year is no exception with a lineup of 109 feature films from 127 filmmakers. Over the course of 12 thrilling days, we invite audiences to explore the magic of storytelling as a powerful tool of democracy, activism, and social awareness,” says Tribeca Festival Co-Founder and Tribeca Enterprises CEO Jane Rosenthal. “We’re also proud to highlight the 50th anniversary of hip-hop as a culture-defining genre that originated right here in New York City, with insightful world premieres about beat-boxing legends and live performances from today’s top-charting musicians.”
This year the festival is expanding its Midnight Movie lineup with the introduction of “Escape from Tribeca,” a psychotronic sidebar featuring genre films from all corners of the globe, including the world premiere of India’s Adipurush, directed by Om Raut and starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon. Festival-goers will also be treated to a special event: a 50th anniversary screening of the iconic martial arts classic Enter the Dragon. Following the film, co-star Angela Mao and producer Andre Morgan will share insights about the production and their experiences working alongside the legendary Bruce Lee.
This year’s slate of films is a joyful celebration of everything we love about the big screen experience. We are bringing to New York eye-popping 3D films and rousing music docs, white-knuckle thrillers and knee-slapping comedies, independent edge and old Hollywood glamour. And as potent as the work is on-screen, we are equally excited to ‘plus up’ the moviegoing experience off-screen with an incredible lineup of live experiences in ‘Spotlight+’.
