Tickets are available to the public at https://tribecafilm.com/storytellingsummit. The organization will also co-host a selection of screenings at the festival, all of which feature a NYWIFT member in a key creative role.
The 17 selected NYWIFT member documentary and narrative projects at this year’s festival span eight categories and feature members of the community as directors, writers, producers, executive producers, assistant directors, costume designers, marketing professionals, and more. The subjects range from AI and emerging technology’s societal impact to sports to women’s reproductive healthcare, drag performers, a musical, and everything in between, demonstrating how NYWIFT members have their fingers on the pulse of the cultural moment.
NYWIFT CEO Cynthia Lopez said, “Heartfelt Congratulations to Jane Rosenthal, Robert DeNiro, and Craig Hatkoff, the founders of the Tribeca Festival, whose vision, passion for film and art, and financial savvy brought hope and economic revitalization to NYC and all New Yorkers who were desperate for concrete solutions after being devastated by 9/11. Lower Manhattan was a ghost town at that time, and they brought life back to its streets. Twenty-five years later, we see the festival thrive, and its economic contributions to our city, our industry, and our makers are palpable. BRAVA!"
“We also celebrate our 16 NYWIFT members with projects featured at the 2026 Tribeca Festival. We are thrilled to partner with the festival to honor its longstanding commitment to championing women storytellers. We are incredibly proud to see so many of our NYWIFT community sharing impactful work across film, television, and audio, continuing to shape the cultural and political conversation through stories that inform, challenge, and inspire,” said Cynthia Lopez.
