Tribeca Festival 2025 Unveils Expanded Shorts Program With Dedicated Screening Room
Briefly

The 2025 Tribeca Festival is set to showcase an impressive lineup of 93 short films, the highest among major festivals, due to expanded eligibility criteria. Notable productions include Kid Cudi's world premiere of "Neverland" and diverse entries from 30+ countries. The festival runs from June 4-15 in NYC and adds the inaugural Shorts Cinema screening room to promote independent filmmaking. Ben Thompson, the VP of Shorts Programming, expresses pride in the festival's dedication to quality storytelling and the rising prominence of short formats and music videos in their lineup.
This year we received a staggering number of short submissions, and while it certainly made our job as programmers more challenging, we are confident our programs will reflect the quality, variety and imagination of the films we received from around the world.
Our aim is to make shorts and music videos a major focus at Tribeca, with storytelling that dazzles and delights our audiences.
