"One of the things about Tribeca is we have such a diverse offering of stories and filmmakers," co-creator Jane Rosenthal told Reuters ahead of the festival launch. Tribeca Film Festival was co-founded in 2001 by American actor Robert De Niro to help revitalize lower Manhattan following the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The festival is showcasing 43 first-time filmmakers, including many from traditionally underrepresented communities. Running from June 7 to June 18, nearly 70% of the competition feature films are directed by women.
NEW YORK, June 5 (Reuters) - With an emphasis on diversity in content and storytellers, New York's Tribeca Film Festival kicks off on Wednesday, with highlights including documentaries about actor Rock Hudson and news anchor Dan Rather.
