Welcome back to A History of Film Festivals in 100 Movies - This is Episode 11: Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench - by Damien Chazelle, and the Tribeca Film Festival - which took place this past June.

After this film had its World Premiere and Chazelle's numerous accolades, he was on his way to a future indie smash at Sundance, box office success, and Oscar glory.

Tribeca Film was founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in 2002 to spur the economic and cultural revitalization of Lower Manhattan following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. Until 2020, the festival was known as the Tribeca Film Festival.
