The 2021 Tribeca Film Festival Will Happen Later Than Usual

The dates have been announced for the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival!

The event is happening later than usual next year due to the coronavirus pandemic and the big switch in the awards season calendar.

The New York-based film festival usually happens every year in mid-April, but the 2021 event will be held from June 9-20.

The Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T, was “established in the aftermath of 9/11 in an effort to bring people together through the arts and send a signal of resiliency to the world. Tribeca looks forward to bringing the community together once again to celebrate emerging and established voices; discover award-winning filmmakers and creators; and enjoy innovative experiences.”

To accommodate creators affected by the pandemic, the submission period is extended by three weeks, the late deadline is pushed to January, and the eligibility rules are adjusted to include films that have previously screened at online festivals.

The 2020 festival was initially postponed and then canceled completely.
