How It's New York: Tribeca Film Festival is a New York Festival founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Robert De Niro and Craig Hatkoff as a response to 9/11- to remind the world, and New Yorkers too, that Manhattan, and particularly LOWER Manhaattan, is vibrant and a great place to make and screen films. It's hard to believe the festival's only 10 years old, because it's become such a major festival and such a signpost of the year.
How It's Irish: There are always some great Irish films in the mix: "The Guard" screened here last yea (listen to our interviews with John Michael McDonagh and with Don Cheadle and Brendan Gleeson!). Young Irish filmmakers come over with shorts. As the Oscar win for Terry George in the shorts category demonstrated, Irish film is definitely on the rise.
Thanks to Niall McKay of Irish Film New York for compiling this list of the Irish films at Tribeca Film Festival for us! As we did last year, we'll be posting reviews and grades along the way so stay tuned.
These films are by or about Irish subjects. The Festival began April 18 and runs through April 29. In addition to the films, there are fascinating panels and industry events so check out their website! And even if a film says "sold out" it's worth trying for a rush ticket.
