Tribeca closes its second edition with a commitment to continuity

The program included the national premiere of Honeyjoon, by Lilian T. Mehrel, filmed in the Azores and starring José Condessa, and the screening of Bugonia, by Yorgos Lanthimos, with Emma Stone. Among the guests were Meg Ryan, Kim Cattrall, Giancarlo Esposito, Daniela Ruah and Joaquim de Almeida, who took part in film sessions and panels on storytelling and new audiovisual languages.

The screenings took place in various venues around the city, including the Teatro Ibérico, the Convento do Beato and the Unicorn Factory Lisboa, the center of the festival's activities, reinforcing the aim of "linking artistic creation with technology and innovation".

At the closing session, the Mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas, highlighted the impact of the event on the cultural dynamism of the city. "I want things for the city that aren't just a festival or a passing moment. I want to create dynamism and I want to create a dream, and Tribeca is really part of that dream," he said.

Tribeca Festival Lisboa, created in 2024 as the first European edition of the event founded by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, will return in 2026, maintaining the ambition to "project Lisbon as a global stage for contemporary culture".
