New York City — The Tribeca Festival has announced a distinguished jury lineup for its 2025 edition, which will run from June 4 to June 15 in New York City. This year’s festival features an impressive array of personalities, including Oscar winners, cult icons, and top industry talents who will help identify emerging voices in film, gaming, and audio storytelling.
Among the prominent jurors are notable figures such as Kyle MacLachlan, Jennifer Beals, Matthew Broderick, Mira Sorvino, and Barack Ahmed. They are tasked with selecting winners across 15 categories during the festival. The panel will also present the Nora Ephron Award, recognizing an outstanding female filmmaker whose work embodies the spirit of the revered writer and director.
Nancy Lefkowitz, executive vice president at Tribeca Enterprises, expressed enthusiasm about the diverse jurors participating this year. She noted that their extensive expertise across many creative genres is essential for spotlighting remarkable storytellers from around the globe.
Over 30 jurors will honor projects in both feature-length and short film categories, including narrative and documentary films. Additional panels will also evaluate entries in the gaming and audio storytelling sectors. Announcements of winning works will be made during the festival’s awards ceremony on June 12.
For those interested in attending, tickets for the festival, along with membership and pass options, are available through the Tribeca Film website. The festival is widely recognized for its commitment to supporting and promoting independent artists and their stories in a variety of formats, including film, television, music, and immersive experiences.
The annual event was initiated in 2001 by notable figures including Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff as part of a revitalization effort for lower Manhattan following the 9/11 attacks. In 2025, the Tribeca Festival will mark its 24th year, celebrating the creative endeavors that continue to shape the cultural landscape.
While the festival has garnered significant attention, it has also seen changes in ownership. In 2019, James Murdoch’s Lupa Systems acquired a majority stake in Tribeca Enterprises, bringing a fresh vision to the organization alongside its original founders.
As the festival approaches, fans and industry professionals alike are encouraged to follow Tribeca on various social media platforms for programming updates and additional information.
