Tribeca Film Festival screenings and events

Tribeca Festival opened on Wednesday, June 3, and the 2026 edition runs through June 14 across Manhattan, according to the festival schedule and festival guide. The 25th-anniversary program spans feature films, shorts, talks, TV events, podcasts and free outdoor screenings, with venues including Hudson Yards, Village East by Angelika and the OKX Theater at BMCC TPAC. Time Out New York said the festival is bringing “dozens of films, podcasts and talks” to the city this week, while Tribeca’s own listings show events running daily from morning through late evening. The 2026 lineup includes 103 world premieres out of 118 feature films and 86 short films, Time Out reported in an April lineup story, calling it the highest number of world premieres in the festival’s history. That same report said the festival was founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff and described this year’s edition as Tribeca’s 25th anniversary.
