As a passionate film enthusiast with a lifelong love for independent cinema, I can hardly contain my excitement about the new Creators Forum at the 2025 Tribeca Festival! With its focus on supporting emerging and underrepresented artists, this multi-day summit promises to be an invaluable resource for those seeking to make their mark in the industry.
The Tribeca Festival is introducing a fresh Creators Forum prior to its 2025 event, which is scheduled from June 4th through the 15th of the following year.
As a film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be part of The Creators Forum – an extended event within the festival, specifically tailored for the wider filmmaking community. This engaging program promises insightful discussions with industry titans, interactive roundtables providing collective guidance on topics spanning from festival planning to distribution, and in-depth analysis of some of the most successful independent films. Additionally, it offers valuable networking chances, allowing me to leverage the expertise of Tribeca’s distinguished talent for my own projects and career advancement.
Besides introducing the Creators Forum, Tribeca has broadened the criteria for its short films program to include projects that have been screened in New York or online, making them eligible for out-of-competition consideration. Furthermore, submissions are now being accepted for the Creators Market’s “Works-in-Progress” showcase, which allows filmmakers with post-production work to present their projects to an exclusive industry audience during the Tribeca Festival.
“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,” Tribeca CEO and co-founder Jane Rosenthal said in a statement. “As the industry evolves, Tribeca constantly seeks ways to make it more accessible to artists from all backgrounds, communities, and disciplines. The first-ever Creators Forum will do what Tribeca does best—facilitate connections, provide mentorship, offer creative support, and, hopefully, shift the trajectory of someone’s career.”
Cara Cusumano, the festival director and senior vice president of programming, stated: “Tribeca has always been committed to making films available to everyone. With our new Creators Forum and expanded submission opportunities for works in progress and short films, we’re thrilled to broaden our reach even more, aiming to make Tribeca as inclusive as possible for creators at every stage of their project and career. Whether your work is currently being produced, already online, or simply waiting for the perfect audience, Tribeca serves as a platform for the next step in your creative journey.
The 24th edition of the Tribeca Festival is set for June 4-15, 2025. Submissions are now open.
