These are strange times for the Tribeca Film Festival. After starting off with a lot of publicity (perhaps too much) and potential eight years ago, the brainchild of Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff has been struggling to find itself. Well aware they needed more help to really be considered a big time event, the trio brought in former Sundance Film Festival director Geoffrey Gilmore to help refocus the festival in a digital age, but it’s unclear whether this year’s “virtual” fest (where you can watch eight of the festival’s less star-friendly selections online) or iPhone app can really expand the festival’s reach. We’re huge fans of Gilmore who spent twenty years helping shaping Sundance into the industry power event it is today, but it’s going to take awhile to turn this boat around.
