The 23rd edition of the Tribeca Festival will unspool June 5-16, 2024, in New York City, organizers said today, and submissions are now open.
Festival Director Cara Cusumano has been promoted to SVP of Programming and José F. Rodriguez to Senior Programmer.
The fest, presented by Okx, and founded in 2001, has expanded over the years from film into television, immersive, games and audio storytelling and also leans heavily on music and live events, which may be helpful next year as ongoing Hollywood strikes by actors and writers slow production on U.S. projects.
“Tribeca is a global platform for storytellers to showcase art that speaks with purpose. As the industry has changed, we have evolved to be inclusive of all forms of storytelling,” said Tribeca CEO and co-founder Jane Rosenthal. “We’re proud to be the launchpad for the next generation of artists. The 23rd Tribeca Festival will be a groundbreaking...

It was just as well that Cypher was the only public screening I attended at this year’s Tribeca Festival that wasn’t preceded by an introduction from a member of the programming staff. Here’s a film best experienced absolutely cold. Fans of Philly rapper Tierra Whack might be in on the joke perpetrated by her co-conspirators, including director Chris Moukarbel and producer Natalia-Leigh Brown, but for those that haven’t been following along as closely, the film is a pseudo-documentary thriller that constantly morphs and shifts tone. Perhaps inspired by the line in Beyonce’s “Formation” (“y’all haters corny with that Illuminati mess”), Whack and Mourkarbel hint early on at what’s to come before shifting into a more traditional biopic documentary explaining the seemingly out-of-nowhere rise of Tierra Whack at age 15.

The 2023 Tribeca Festival has announced its award winners across various competition categories, with Cypher, A Strange Path and Between the Rains among the films winning the top prizes.
Cypher won the founders award for best U.S. narrative feature with the prize going to director Chris Moukarbel.
Cypher follows YouTube rapper Tierra Whack, going behind the scenes of concerts and music videos as she navigates fame and receives praise until a seemingly innocuous fan interaction begins a series of increasingly unsettling events that follow Tierra and her team to Dubai as they start to question being watched as a part of fame.
A Strange Path dominated the international narrative competition, winning best feature (Guto Parente), performance (Carlos Francisco), screenplay (Parente) and cinematography (Linga Acácio).
Between the Rains won best documentary feature (Andrew H. Brown and Moses Thuranira) and cinematography in a doc feature (Brown).
