Tribeca Offers Events Centered Around Side by Side

In addition to featuring the Keanu Reeves produced and hosted Side by Side in their Spotlight Program, they have also made digital media a central focus at the film festival this year.

Jon Patricof, President and Chief Operating Officer, writes:

From our Tribeca Talks Industry panels to our Future of Film Lunch Series to our Third Annual Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Awards—now it is not just filmmakers, producers and distributors who make up the “industry” at Tribeca but digital marketers, technologists, and brand executives as well.

Two of The Future of Film Lunch Series that will be most closely alined with the digital debate are:

  • Tribeca Talks Industry: The Future is Short – Storytelling in the Digital Age
  • Tribeca Talks Industry: Does the Cloud Have a Silver (Screen) Lining?

It is not clear if Mr. Reeves will be attending the North American premiere of his film or any of the Tribeca Talks Industry events. It is clear, however, that Tribeca Flms, which has the distribution rights for Side by Side, is going all out in promoting the film.
