About the Tribeca Film Institute

The Tribeca Film Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization serving audiences and artists year-round. While TFI’s mission remains grounded in the heart of its New York City founding, its reach and influence in the film community has expanded to capture international acclaim and participation. Since its inception in 2001, TFI has become an industry-recognized institution. Administering a dozen major programs annually, TFI reaches 10,000 people through its year-round programming in New York City as well as its featured initiatives at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Tribeca All Access

Made possible by Bloomberg, Tribeca All Access (TAA) fosters relationships between film industry executives and filmmakers from traditionally underrepresented communities in the industry. Entering its sixth year, TAA provides participating directors and screenwriters the opportunity to present their upcoming works in one-on-one meetings with more than 100 registered industry executives.

There are many exciting programs taking place at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival.

Tribeca Youth Programs

Since 2005, TFI has utilized the power of film to help harness and direct the energy, vision and promise of New York City’s public school students. Through a broad range of programming, students with an interest in cinema have the opportunity to learn more about film and about how to use film to think about their own lives, stories, communities and careers.

The Tribeca Film Institute is proud to invite NYC students, youth filmmakers and educators to the Tribeca Youth Programs held throughout the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival. All events are free of charge.
