Please note that this is only a small sample of what the festival has to offer. Check out Tribeca’s 2025 Festival Guide to browse the full schedule by date, time, and subject.
The 2025 Tribeca Film Festival is set to host the world premiere of Something Beautiful, a feature-length visual companion to Miley Cyrus’ upcoming album of the same name. Helmed by Cyrus herself alongside Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter, Something Beautiful promises “a one-of-a-kind pop opera” that’s “fueled by fantasy.”
The project’s visual pedigree is bolstered further by the presence of Panos Cosmatos, director of famed phantasmagoric films like Mandy and Beyond the Black Rainbow. Cosmatos lends his considerable talents to Something Beautiful as a producer.
You can catch Something Beautiful the evening of Friday, June 6. Stick around afterward for an exclusive conversation with star and director Miley Cyrus.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film’s release, this year’s Tribeca Festival will host a special screening of American Psycho. The era-defining horror comedy satirizes 1980s corporate and consumer cultures with a turn-of-the-millennium sensibility that continues to resonate even today.
Better still, the film will be followed by a conversation with director and co-writer Mary Harron to be moderated by comedian and television host Hasan Minhaj. Experience Christian Bale’s star-making performance as Patrick Bateman and find out exactly why it’s hip to be square when American Psycho screens on Saturday, June 7.
Tribeca’s Viewpoints category is the fest’s “home for distinct points of view and bold directorial visions.” Fior Di Latte promises to deliver all that and more.
From first-time director Charlotte Ercoli, Fior Di Latte is “a dreamy, offbeat comedy-drama that blends surrealist elements with an indie sensibility to explore themes of memory, escapism and artistic identity.” It stars Tim Heidecker—of Tim and Eric fame—as a frustrated playwright who discovers that he can huff perfume to evoke memories of an idyllic Italian vacation and escape his stagnated, current life. Heidecker is joined by a supporting cast that includes Gina Gershon, Julia Fox, and Kevin Kline as a “Willy Wonka-esque perfumer.”
Fior Di Latte is scheduled to screen on three separate evenings at the 2025 Tribeca Festival. You can catch it at the Village East by Angelika on June 9, 10, or 14.
YANUNI is an intimate documentary that follows the journey of Juma Xipaia, the first female Indigenous of her people in the Brazilian Amazon and a critical figure on the frontlines of climate justice. Having survived six assassination attempts, the story of Xipaia’s steadfast advocacy brings a large-scale political struggle close to home, a stark contrast further underlined by Xipaia’s pregnancy and the prospect of becoming a parent.
From producer Leonardo DiCaprio and director Richard Ladkani, YANUNI offers a visceral portrait of Indigenous activism that “unfolds like a tense thriller.” The must-see film is scheduled to close out the 2025 Tribeca Festival on June 14.

The upcoming Tribeca Festival is one of this year’s most anticipated showcases for independent movies, television, and much more. For nearly two weeks in June, the Tribeca Festival turns New York City into a filmmaker’s paradise. It’s the perfect place for producers to make connections, gather knowledge, and explore the cutting edge of art and entertainment.
In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to prepare yourself for the 2025 Tribeca Festival. We’ll break down the features that make Tribeca special, highlight key experiences from this year’s schedule, and show you how to make the most of your trip to Tribeca.
The Tribeca Festival was founded back in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff to revitalize the economy of lower Manhattan following the attacks on the World Trade Center the year prior. Fueled by industry support and grounded by independent roots, Tribeca enjoyed rapid growth, joining the ranks of the best film festivals in the world almost immediately.
After two decades of evolution, the Tribeca Festival now takes place every spring with events spread over all of Manhattan. The fest hosts screenings, exclusive premieres, panel discussions, exhibitions, live performances, and more. Tribeca champions both “emerging and established voices” alike, launching small indie gems and major studio releases from the same high-profile platform.
While the Tribeca Festival still centers its role in the culture of film, its interests are no longer limited to matters of the silver screen. The current version of the festival celebrates “storytelling in all its forms.” Tribeca is a festival for movies, television, music, podcasts, video games, and immersive entertainment.
The 2025 Tribeca Festival offers more events and experiences than a single person could possibly attend on their own. If this avalanche of activities feels a little overwhelming, don’t worry. It’s only understandable, and Wrapbook has your back.
In this section, we’re going to highlight some of the key programs that filmmakers will want to watch out for as the festival gets into full swing. Please note that we won’t be covering Tribeca’s programming for games, music, audio storytelling, or immersive experiences. Below, we’re focusing on the event categories that cater specifically to makers of movies and television.
Let’s dig in.
The Storytellers and Directors Series of Talks are an annual highlight at the Tribeca Festival. They bring industry-leading creatives together in an intimate setting to spark meaningful dialogue about art and craft. Directors, writers, actors, and other artists convene to share their personal insight with both one another and an audience of Tribeca attendees.
For filmmakers, the Tribeca Talks are an invaluable source of information as well as a unique opportunity to meet like-minded creatives. While the Talks are not designed explicitly for networking, they’re a natural gathering place for entertainment professionals.
The heart of any film festival is its program of film screenings, and Tribeca’s lineup only seems to prove the rule. Year after year, the Tribeca Festival delivers an extensive and highly curated program that seeks to capture the diversity of both modern cinema and the people who bring it to life.
Tribeca is one of the best festivals for short films in the world, and their feature film programming is just as impressive. In addition to its slate of in-competition films, the fest regularly premieres highly anticipated independent and studio movies. The Tribeca Festival even gives its audience a sneak peek at upcoming gems of the small screen, with pilot premieres from major networks like Hulu and Apple TV+.
To cap things off, the Tribeca Festival’s NOW program uncovers and celebrates independent episodic work. It creates a unique festival home for “short and long-form pilots and series” from any genre. Tribeca’s NOW section famously highlighted the web series High Maintenance before it went on to be acquired by HBO.
The 2025 Tribeca Festival introduces a new event to the fest’s already stacked calendar. Previously titled the Creators Forum, the inaugural Tribeca Storytelling Summit is described as a “dynamic, festival within a festival for the filmmaking and creative community.”
Badge holders for the Storytelling Summit gain access to “11 full days of creative and industry keynote addresses, panel conversations, roundtable discussion, and workshops as well as a dedicated space within Spring Studios to use for networking and meetups with other attendees.”
The Summit is set to host a staggering lineup of speakers that includes:
Programs run from 10AM to 5PM throughout the festival. Badges for the inaugural Tribeca Storytelling Summit are currently on sale for $250, plus fees. You can purchase yours here.
The Tribeca Festival organizes a variety of programs that connect independent filmmakers to funding, mentorship, and professional support.
The Queen Collective offers mentorship, production support, and distribution opportunities to empower women and non-binary people of color telling stories in film and advertising.
Through Her Lens organizes a three-day program to champion U.S.-based women and non-binary writers, directors, and producers through mentorship, development support, and limited funding.
And AT&T Presents: Untold Stories gives underrepresented storytellers a chance at $1 million in financing for their first feature film.
If it wasn’t clear already, the Tribeca Festival is more than just a film festival. With the launch of Tribeca Films, the fest has officially planted its flag as an independent distributor.
Tribeca Films is a distribution label that empowers Tribeca to support independent filmmakers beyond their festival run by giving them access to video-on-demand and other streaming distribution outlets. The label has released more than fifteen films in its first year of operation and will continue to expand its slate through the foreseeable future.
