History
Tribeca, also written as TriBeCa, is an acronym for Triangle Below Canal Street. This encompasses the area south of Canal Street, between Croadway and West Street, extending south to Vesey Street. Tribeca started out as a NYC’s first residential area then transformed into a commercial center in the mid-1800’s. However, by the 1960’s, many of the businesses moved out, leaving a lot of empty space which attracted many artists to the area, transforming it to an upscale residential area that it is today.

Film Festival
The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Robert De Niro and Craig Hatkoff. The mission of the film festival is "to enable the international film community and the general public to experience the power of film by redefining the film festival experience." The Tribeca Film Festival was founded to celebrate New York City as a major filmmaking center and to contribute to the long-term recovery of lower Manhattan.
