Tribeca Film Festival

The first event I am going to be focusing on in the Tribeca Film Festival. Here's some information about the event:
  • This year's festival is taking place between April 13-24. 
  • Founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Robert De Niro, and Craig Hatkoff.
  • Its mission is to "enable the international film community and the general public to experience the power of film by redefining the festival experience". It celebrates NYC as a major filmmaking area.
  • As well as premiering films, they hand out awards, such as 'Best Narrative Feature', 'Best Actress in a Narrative Film', and 'Best Cinematography'. 
  • It has screened over 1400 films from over 80 countries since 2002.
  • Has attracted 4 million people, with the festival generating $750 million for NYC's economy.
  • United Airlines is the festival's official airline. Their flights offer exclusive Tribeca content to in-flight entertainment. 
The festival's official website can be found here. I will be carrying out extensive analysis into this website, as well as research into how the festival markets itself as the event looms.
