American film producer, Jane Rosenthal and actor Robert DeNiro founded the TriBeCa Film Festival in 2002, in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the loss of vitality in the TriBeCa neighborhood in Manhattan.
There mission is “to enable the international film community and the general public to experience the power of film by redefining the film festival experience”.
I love how Ali Jaafar from Variety puts it “Qatar is joining the Middle East film gold rush.” Executives from Qatar Museums Authority, an organization dedicated to developing cultural initiatives in the country have made a deal with Tribeca fest co-founders to launch Tribeca Film Festival Doha in November next year.
