Tribeca Festival Lisboa will take place this year from October 30 to November 1 in the Beato Innovation District of Lisbon.
The event will also expand to three days of programming, with projects including U.S. independent films, Portuguese films, series, podcasts, and what has been described as music showcases.
“Last year, the city of Lisbon welcomed Tribeca with open arms and we found a home away from home, a creative haven buzzing with inspiration and innovation. This year, we’re thrilled to return for the second annual Tribeca Festival Lisboa,” said Jane Rosenthal, co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises. “Tribeca believes that cities flourish when their artistic communities are supported, which is why this partnership means so much to us, and we’re honored to continue to share our global platform with the city’s incredible talent.”
The inaugural Tribeca Festival Lisboa opened with the Portuguese premiere of Sean Baker’s Anora. Other highlights from the first festival included live talks with Tribeca co-founders Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, Whoopi Goldberg, Patty Jenkins, Griffin Dunne, Chazz Palminteri, Ricardo Araújo Pereira, Daniela Ruah, Sara Sampaio, Joaquim de Almeida, and César Mourão.
Francisco Pedro Balsemão, CEO of Portuguese media conglomerate Impresa, added: “Year one of Tribeca Festival Lisboa was an amazing and unique experience for Portuguese audiences. We are thrilled to host this event once again, where we will double down on talent, quality content, and unforgettable talks. We thank Bob, Jane, and the Tribeca team for their unwavering partnership and are eager to write this new and exciting chapter together with them.”
