“At a time when the world can feel increasingly divided, storytelling has the power to connect us across cultures, geographies, and generations. Tribeca Festival Lisboa is more than a showcase of films—it’s an act of cultural diplomacy, a celebration of how art can foster dialogue and deepen our understanding of one another. We’re honored to continue building this creative bridge between New York and Portugal with our partners at Grupo Impresa,” Jane Rosenthal, co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises, said in a statement on Thursday.
Other lineup additions include director Alberto Arvelo’s roadtrip drama All We Cannot See; and Lilian T. Mehrel’s debut feature Honeyjoon, which was shot and set in Portugal and stars Ayden Mayeri, Amira Casar and José Condessa.
And Portuguese movies booked into Tribeca Festival Lisboa include Match, by director Duarte Neves; Antonio Ferreira’s A Memória do Cheiro das Coisas; and Além do Horizonte – A Travessia, an epic family drama from director Fernando Vendrell, and starring Goncalo Waddington, Miguel Damiao, Rafael Gomes and Julia Palha.
The return of Tribeca Festival Lisboa after an inaugural 2024 event is a partnership between Tribeca Enterprises, the city of Lisbon, Portuguese broadcaster SIC and the local Opto streamer.
Tribeca’s international tour earlier included a partnership with the Doha Film Institute in Qatar to hold the Doha Tribeca Film Festival over four years from 2009. In recent years, the Tribeca Film Festival has moved beyond its roots in New York City to also hold annual events in Los Angeles and Miami.
