As part of a new multi-year collaboration, creators will be able
to submit their feature and short films to the 2018 festival
through Withoutabox, the online festival submission system favored
by filmmakers for its ease of use and streamlined process. This new
relationship with Withoutabox continues Tribeca’s ongoing mission
to empower storytellers with the opportunities and tools to bring
their stories to life.
The 2018 Festival is set to build on the momentum from last
year’s edition, which not only saw record setting attendance
numbers from recent years, but also the highest percentage of film
sales to distributors. The 2017 line-up made major cultural
headlines from reunions like The Godfather and Reservoir Dogs; to
Tribeca Immersive’s critically acclaimed Virtual Arcade and
Storyscapes programming, which showcased the latest in VR and
installations that explored the intersection of storytelling and
technology; to the N.O.W. (New Online Work) section’s showcase of
digital storytellers. For the second year, the Tribeca X Award
celebrated the best in branded storytelling from artist-brand
collaborations. Tribeca Talks®’ Directors Series and Storytellers
brought luminaries such as Barbra Streisand, Alejandro González
Iñárritu, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Hanks together for
once-in-a-lifetime conversations. Tribeca TV world premiered new
series including Emmy® nominees The Handmaid’s Tale and Genius, in
addition to introducing audiences to new shows such as The Sinner
and debuting the latest seasons of fan favorites like Unbreakable
Kimmy Schmidt. The inaugural Tribeca Games Festival premiered to
sold-out crowds with the first-ever crowd play of Marvel’s
Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series, Episode 1, a concert
with British electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist Mura
Masa, and keynotes with some of the top game creators, including
legendary creator Hideo Kojima.
"Following a banner year that saw record high submissions across
all of our festival programs, it’s clear there is more exciting
work being created in more different ways and on more different
platforms than ever before,” said Tribeca Director of Programming
Cara Cusumano. “Withoutabox is the perfect partner to help further
our film submissions and we eagerly look forward to seeing what our
endlessly surprising creators bring us in 2018."
“Withoutabox is home to the top filmmakers and film festivals in
the world, and our mission is to provide filmmakers with
unparalleled opportunities to share their projects with a global
audience,” said Matt Kumin, Head of Withoutabox, IMDbPro and Box
Office Mojo. “The Tribeca Film Festival is one of the most
important festivals in the world and we are thrilled they have

submissions service beginning with the highly anticipated 2018 film

About the Tribeca Film Festival
The Tribeca Film Festival is a cultural event for the new age of
storytelling that brings together visionaries across industries and
diverse audiences. It celebrates the power of storytelling in a
variety of forms – from film to TV, VR to online work,
and music to gaming. As a platform for creative expression,
independent filmmaking, and immersive entertainment, Tribeca
champions emerging and established voices, discovers award-winning
filmmakers and creators, curates innovative experiences, and
introduces new technology and ideas through premieres, exhibitions,
talks, and live performances.
The Festival was founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and
Craig Hatkoff in 2001 to spur the economic and cultural
revitalization of lower Manhattan following the attacks on the
World Trade Center. With strong roots in independent film, the
annual event has evolved into a destination for creativity,
reimagines the cinematic experience, and explores how art can unite
communities.
