Tribeca Festival Lisboa Celebrates 25 Years, Expands Global Footprint
31 Oct
Summary
- Tribeca Festival Lisboa in Portugal inspired by "New York, New York" song
- Tribeca Enterprises CEO Jane Rosenthal to hand over reins to Rebecca Glashow
- Edie Falco expresses interest in playing a female superhero role
As Tribeca Festival Lisboa in Portugal prepares to mark its 25th anniversary in 2026, the event's inspiration and global expansion are in the spotlight. Tribeca Enterprises CEO Jane Rosenthal, who co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City nearly 25 years ago, sees the Portuguese festival as a way to bring Tribeca's expertise to a new market.
Rosenthal, who is set to hand over the CEO role to Rebecca Glashow, says the Tribeca Festival Lisboa aims to put a local touch on the event by collaborating with the Portuguese media industry. While the Tribeca brand is firmly rooted in New York, Rosenthal believes the festival's infrastructure and programming can benefit cities and countries that lack such resources.
Actress Edie Falco, known for her role in the TV series "Nurse Jackie," has also expressed interest in taking on a female superhero role, adding to the festival's diverse lineup of talent and content.
As Tribeca Festival Lisboa continues through November 1st, the event's global reach and milestone anniversary celebrations are poised to make a lasting impact on the Portuguese media landscape.
