From New York
to the world

A cultural platform born from transformation

Tribeca was founded in New York after September 11 with a simple ambition: bring people, culture and creativity back to the heart of the city. What started as a film festival evolved into one of the world's most influential cultural platforms, following the transformation of storytelling across media, technology and entertainment for more than 25 years.

More than a festival, Tribeca Festival Lisboa is a platform for exchange, collaboration and cultural discovery. It celebrates the stories that shaped us, amplifies the stories being told today and helps launch the stories that will define the future.

Because some cities host culture.
Others help shape it.
