For the first time since its creation in 2002 in the United States of America, the Tribeca Festival is crossing the Atlantic Ocean to ‘settle’ in Europe… and Lisbon has been chosen to host this great event. From October 18 to 19 (Friday to Saturday), the Beato Innovation District will host a veritable parade of stars.
The Tribeca Festival Lisboa presents a wide-ranging and diverse program, celebrating the Seventh Art and beyond. From the world of cinema to entertainment, the program includes talks, screenings of films and series (international and national), live podcasts and concerts.
The kick-off is this Thursday, October 17, with a ceremony for invited guests at the iconic MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology. After that, the central program moves ‘suitcases and luggage’ to the Beato Innovation District.
