Tribeca Film Institute

The Tribeca Film Institute is a 501(c)(3) year-round nonprofit arts organization founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in the wake of September 11, 2001. TFI partners with storytellers and joins them in breaking barriers to access, exposure, and sustainability in the media landscape, in the belief that their stories can foster a more equitable society. The Institute’s educational programming leverages an extensive network of people in the film industry to help New York City students learn filmmaking and gain the media skills necessary to be productive citizens and creative individuals in the 21st century.
