Tribeca Festival has launched a new creator forum ahead of the 2025 festival, scheduled for June 4-15 next year.
The Creators Forum will be a multi-day summit within the festival designed for the broader filmmaking community. The program will include conversations with industry leaders, roundtables offering group guidance on everything from festival strategy to distribution, case studies of some of the biggest independent success stories and networking opportunities. Forum attendees will be able to tap into Tribeca’s talent to help with their projects and careers.
In addition to launching the Creators Forum, Tribeca’s Short Films Program is expanding its eligibility guidelines to projects screened in New York or online for consideration outside of competition. Additionally, Tribeca’s Creator Marketplace “Works in Progress” showcase will now accept submissions. Filmmakers working in post-production can submit previews of their projects to an invited industry audience at the Tribeca Film Festival.
“For more than two decades, Tribeca has supported thousands of emerging and underrepresented artists, many of whom have gone on to become critically acclaimed, award-winning filmmakers. With the launch of our new Creator Forum , the tradition continues. “As the industry grows, Tribeca continues to look for ways to make it more accessible to artists from all backgrounds, communities, and disciplines. The inaugural Creators Forum will do what Tribeca does best. Things – Promote connections, provide mentorship, provide creative support, and hopefully change the trajectory of someone’s career.
