We’re dedicated to presenting outstanding programming throughout the year, from eagerly awaited premieres to exclusive chats with emerging talent and Hollywood legends,” Tribeca co-founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal said. “Our membership program offers our dynamic community the opportunity to dive into unparalleled experiences that are simply one-of-a-kind. August’s schedule is merely a glimpse of the amazing events we have planned for the year.”

“After a banner Tribeca Festival in June, we are continuing the momentum through the summer with an exciting lineup of events exclusive to our Tribeca Members,” Tribeca Festival Director and SVP of Programming Cara Cusumano said. “We are thrilled to bring our Tribeca audiences and New York film fans these festival-style premieres all year long.”
