The story, neutrally told

Tribeca Festival announced that its 26th edition will take place June 3–12, 2027 in New York City. Submissions are open across Features, Shorts & Music Videos, Tribeca TV, Tribeca Digital Creators, Tribeca Games, Tribeca Podcasts and Tribeca X. Deadline reports that submissions for the Tribeca Works in Progress category open January 5.

Festival passes are on sale, including the returning Under 25 Pass and a new Hudson Opening Weekend Pass. IndieWire adds that the Under 25 Pass returns after a successful pilot year. Rebecca Glashow, CEO of Tribeca Enterprises, said the festival is building on a record year at the box office and looks forward to welcoming audiences back.

Festival director Cara Cusumano said last year's record-breaking submissions helped make the 25th anniversary edition one of the most remarkable in Tribeca's history. The 2026 festival welcomed 57 first-time feature filmmakers; Deadline also cites more than 240 live events and a record 104 world premieres. Deadline adds that the festival was founded in 2001 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff to help revitalize lower Manhattan after the September 11 attacks.
