Tribeca’s short films program has expanded eligibility to projects screened in New York or online for out-of-competition consideration. And its Creators Market’s Works-in-Progress showcase will accept submissions from filmmakers with work in post-production. They can submit to preview their project for an invitation-only industry audience at the Festival in June.

“For over two decades, Tribeca has supported thousands of emerging and underrepresented artists, many of whom have gone on to become critically acclaimed, award-winning filmmakers. This tradition continues today with the launch of our new Creators Forum,” said Tribeca CEO and co-founder Jane Rosenthal. “As the industry evolves, Tribeca constantly seeks ways to make it more accessible to artists from all backgrounds, communities, and disciplines.”

Tribeca 2024 was a record-breaking year with over 13,000 submissions and nearly 600 events for more than 145,000 attendees.
