The film festival promoted by Robert De Niro takes place on the streets of the United States with outdoor performances. The 20th edition of Tribeca seeks to “rebuild” part of the industry affected by the pandemic. Sharon Stone, Patricia Arquette, Elijah Wood, among others, came to New York as members of the jury.
“It’s a similar mission and we keep the tradition of why the festival started in the first place,” De Niro said in an interview. “Last year we did a virtual festival because of how bad the situation was. This year we are re-emerging from it, coming out of it and taking the next step ”.
The edition opened as a tribute to Latin culture, with the adaptation of Jon M. Chu to the musical of the playwright and actor of Puerto Rican origin Lin-Manuel Miranda In the Heights (In the neighborhood). “This is the Broadway show that gave me hope to continue acting and that has inspired me in my career and my life, and being able to be part of it is a gift,” said actor Anthony Ramos at the premiere, quoted by La Vanguard of Mexico. The event was held at the United Palace, located in the same neighborhood where the history of immigrants takes place.
