Tribeca Film Festival

The Tribeca Film Festival is an annual movie festival celebrating the best of film each year whether it be from an artistic or technical point of view. It is considered to be one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world and each year takes place in Lower Manhattan in New York City.

The festival was established by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in 2002 as a way to help catalyse the economy in New York following the 9/11 attacks.

The most coveted awards are for Best U.S Narrative Feature and Best World Narrative Feature, though each of the awards given at the festival comes with its own degree of prestige.

Each year the festival hosts over 600 screenings.

Best Narrative Feature

The Best Feature is the most prestigious award at the Tribeca Film Festival as it encompasses how well-made a movie is as a whole, with many factors taken into consideration as opposed to individual factors for the other remaining awards.

Up until 2015, there was just one main Narrative Feature award, but this has since expanded into two sections, U.S Narrative and World Narrative.

The first film to win the award was Roger Dodger in 2002.
