This year’s Tribeca Festival offers an overwhelming variety of screening, talks, and other experiences. To help you get the most out of your festival experience, we’re highlighting four events that you don’t want to miss.
Please note that this is only a small sample of what the festival has to offer. Check out Tribeca’s 2026 Festival Guide to browse the full schedule by date, time, and subject.
Starring Susan Sarandon and Aubrey Plaza alongside young newcomer Everly Carganilla, The Accompanist represents the feature-film debut of actor and improv legend Zach Woods. It follows nine-year-old Emily (Everly Carganilla) after she’s removed from the care of her loving grandfather by a rookie child welfare agent (Aubrey Plaza) and placed with the “witchy, funny, and unpredictable” Sylvia (Susan Sarandon).
Reported to bring “an understated surreality to the family drama,” The Accompanist promises a potent blend of laughs and heartache. As a surprising bond develops between Emily and Sylvia, the two of them “find that forging a new family is not without risk.”
You can check out the world premiere of The Accompanist the evening of Thursday, June 4. Additional screenings are scheduled to follow on Friday, June 5 and Sunday, June 7.
Based on the book by Witold Szablowski, How to Feed a Dictator trains a uniquely chilling lens on “how authoritarians continue to flourish around the globe.”
The feature documentary gathers testimony from the private chefs to five of history’s most notorious dictators, providing an insider’s perspective on the literal guts of their respective regimes. Framed by interviews with journalists who investigate the harsh realities of life under authoritarianism, How to Feed a Dictator contrasts violence and opulence to paint an unnerving but necessary portrait of a global problem.
Tribeca Festival attendees can catch the world premiere of How to Feed a Dictator on Wednesday, June 10. Additional screenings are scheduled on Thursday, June 11 and Saturday, June 13.
The 2026 Tribeca Festival is set to host the world premiere of Imaginal Disk, a feature-length cinematic companion to the eponymous album from American pop duo Magdalena Bay. Directed by Amanda Kramer and written by band members Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin, the film expands the album’s kaleidoscopic world into a bold, visually-driven narrative.
After the film’s premiere on Thursday, June 4, there will be “a special, stripped-back performance” from Magdalena Bay, as well as a discussion of the film with Amanda Kramer. Additional screenings will be held on Friday, June 5 and Monday, June 8.
Tribeca’s Viewpoints category is the fest’s “home for distinct points of view and bold directorial visions.” Based purely on its logline, the feature documentary Micronations promises to provide exactly that. Check it out:
“From backyard kingdoms to full-blown diplomatic summits, the world’s self-declared kings, queens and emperors invite you in. A whimsical and surprisingly timely documentary about borders, identity and the human need to belong.”
Micronations will hold its world premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival on Friday, June 5. Additional screenings are scheduled on Saturday, June 6 and Thursday, June 11.

The upcoming Tribeca Festival is one of this year’s most anticipated showcases for independent movies, television, and more. For nearly two weeks in June, the Tribeca Festival turns New York City into a creative’s paradise and is 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 2026 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 the fest.
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 almost immediately the ranks of the best film festivals in the world.
After two decades of evolution, the Tribeca Festival now takes place every summer with events spread over all of Manhattan. The fest hosts screenings, exclusive premieres, panel discussions, exhibitions, and live performances. 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 2026 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. Wrapbook has your back.
In this section, we’re going to highlight some of the key programs that filmmakers will want to keep an eye on 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 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 2026 Tribeca Festival is set to host the second annual Tribeca Storytelling Summit. Previously titled the Creators Forum, the Tribeca Storytelling Summit is a “dynamic festival within a festival for the filmmaking and creative community.”
Badge holders for the Storytelling Summit gain access to 10 days of keynote addresses, panel conversations, roundtables, and workshops. The event is designed to give independent storytellers “the access and connections they need to propel their projects and careers forward—from exposure to industry veterans to thoughtfully curated sessions.”
The Summit is set to host a staggering lineup of speakers that includes:
Programs run from 10:30AM to 6PM throughout the festival. Badges for this year’s 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 $1.2 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 well over fifteen films since its first year of operation and will continue to expand its slate through the foreseeable future.
