Las producciones europeas llegan al 17° Festival de Tribeca
Virgins, de Keren Ben Rafael

Este artículo está disponible en inglés.

Featuring a line-up full of emerging artistic voices and aiming to retain its status as a platform for discovering talented filmmakers, the 17th edition of the Tribeca Film Festival commences tomorrow, 18 April, in New York’s famous eponymous neighbourhood and will run until 29 April.

Once again this year, Tribeca’s International Narrative Competition has a tight and almost exclusively European-focused selection, as nine out of the ten participating films are European co-productions having their world, international or North American premieres, and competing for the five main awards. Tribeca’s artistic director, Frédéric Boyer, underlined: “Our International Competition showcases bold, risky and stylish film voices. These new perspectives, with their diverse tones and approaches, may inspire people to broaden their opinions and offer some exciting visions of our world today.”
