The Cinema and Culture Behind the Tribeca Film Festival
Pete Torres, COO of the Tribeca Film Festival, talks about the festival and what he considers a very timely closing night screening. This year, the festival will close with "The Fourth Estate," a docu-series that focuses on the New York Times' coverage of the Trump Administration's first 100 days.
We also dig into the #TimesUp movement. Torres says the festival will host an entire day of events dedicated to discussion about gender and pay parity. The festival has around 96 films this year, 46% of which are directed by women.
