Tribeca Festival, June 3–14, New York
The Tribeca Festival returns to New York City from June 3 to 14, 2026, for a milestone 25th anniversary edition. Born in 2001 in the wake of September 11 to bring audiences and storytellers back to Lower Manhattan, the festival has since grown into a global stage spanning film, television, music, podcasts, games, and immersive media. The 2026 program showcases 118 feature films — 103 of them world premieres, a festival record — alongside 86 short films, representing 143 filmmakers across 44 countries.
The festival opens on June 3 at the Beacon Theatre with the world premiere of Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial VS That’s the Weight of the World), the HBO documentary by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, followed by a live performance from the band and The Roots. Closing night brings the world premiere of Alicia Keys: Girl From Hell’s Kitchen, directed by Tribeca alumnus One9.
Italian voices feature prominently in the 2026 lineup. In the International Narrative Competition, Summer War (Guerra de verano) — a Chilean-Argentinian-Uruguayan-Italian co-production directed by Alicia Scherson and adapted from Roberto Bolaño’s The Third Reich — will have its world premiere, co-produced by Italy’s OvePossibile with executive producers Gabriele Guidi and Francesca Moino. The Documentary Competition includes Gar O’Rourke’s The Siege of Paradise (Ireland-Switzerland, in Italian and English), a wry portrait of mass tourism at the Cinque Terre, where 4,000 residents face 3.5 million annual tourists. The Viewpoints section presents the world premiere of Deepfake, a U.S.-Italy co-production written and directed by Matt Eames and produced by Federica Mary Lai, a Gen-Z social satire with Jessica DiGiovanni and Sophia Lucia Parola, debuting June 6 at Village East Cinema. Outside competition, Spotlight Narrative hosts the New York premiere of Julian Schnabel’s In the Hand of Dante, with Oscar Isaac as both the 14th-century poet and 21st-century author Nick Tosches, opposite Al Pacino, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and Martin Scorsese; the Netflix release credits Italian producers Francesco Melzi d’Eril, Olmo Schnabel, Bebe Moratti, and Vito Schnabel.
The broader lineup includes premieres from Katie Holmes (Happy Hours), Zach Woods’s The Accompanist with Susan Sarandon and Aubrey Plaza, and Jamie Adams’s Only What We Carry with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Simon Pegg, and Quentin Tarantino, plus documentaries on Carmelo Anthony and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
This Tribeca Festival edition expands its public reach with free outdoor screenings at Hudson Yards revisiting landmark premieres and audience favorites, and a dedicated Games section featuring 12 official selections eligible for the Tribeca Games Award, with free playable demos at the Games Gallery at Pier 57 from June 10 to 14.
