Tribeca Film Festival 2008

Posted on April 24, 2008 at 12:00 pm

I am on my way to the Tribeca Film Festival and will be providing updates about my adventures there. Tribeca is the neighborhood of Manhattan that was literally in the shadow of the World Trade Center. The name stands for “triangle below Canal Street. Local residents Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal founded the festival just after 9/11 to revitalize and boost the morale of the community and it has now become one of the most popular festivals in the world with both audiences and critics. It was my very first festival two years ago and I am looking forward to seeing what they have to offer this year.

Sundance Film Festival! Then, there is always “Cannes!” Cindi
