\tOn Friday, a number of Hollywood\u2019s established and emerging creatives \u2014 including Meg Ryan<\/a>, Jodie Foster<\/a>, Katie Holmes<\/a>, Catherine Hardwicke, Myha\u2019la, AnnaSophia Robb and Tommy Dorfman \u2014 joined Tribeca Festival<\/a> co-founder Jane Rosenthal at the Greenwich Hotel to celebrate the Through Her Lens<\/a>: The Tribeca Chanel<\/a> Women\u2019s Filmmaker Program as part of an annual luncheon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\tThe starry event saw guests dressed in their best summer Chanel looks as they mingled across the hotel\u2019s first floor with key festival, Through Her Lens and Tribeca Enterprises leadership. That included CEO Rebecca Glashow, who celebrated the festival, the company and the program\u2019s history of female-forward work. \u201cAt Tribeca, I\u2019m happy to say that over 70 percent of our team is made up of women,\u201d Glashow said to cheers. \u201cBeyond the number, though, it reflects a culture built on the belief that diverse voices make things stronger, more creative and more connected to the world around us. That is the belief at the heart of everything that we do at Tribeca, and what makes Through Her Lens <\/a>so special.\u201d \t<\/p>\n

\tGlashow passed the mic to Rosenthal, who began by congratulating director Quinn Whitney Wilson for the Netflix acquisition<\/a> of the Tribeca Festival world premiere and her directorial doc debut, Jean-Michel Basquiat<\/em>. After a round of whoops, cheers and a little dancing, Rosenthal pivoted to thanking Chanel for continuing to support the event before delivering her reliably rousing address.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tStanding alongside Glashow, Through Her Lens advisory board member Patty Jenkins, Tribeca Festival executive vp of artist relations and special events<\/a> Nancy Lefkowitz, and vp of Tribeca Studios and artist development at Tribeca Enterprises Bryce Norbitz, Rosenthal recalled how, \u201cTribeca was born out of the belief that culture can help rebuild what fear and hatred have tried to tear apart. Twenty-five years later, I believe that as strongly as I did then, and Through Her Lens is very much a part of that vision.\u201d \t<\/p>\n

\tInside the hotel, as the crowd \u2014 which also included Maggie Rogers, Cazzie David, Ella Beatty, Ari Graynor, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Debi Mazar and Francesca Scorsese \u2014 spilled over into the courtyard, Rosenthal got frank. \u201cLet\u2019s be honest about what is really at stake. This has never just been about representation. It\u2019s about power. Who gets funding? Who gets the microphone? Who gets to share the narrative? Who gets remembered?\u201d she said. \u201cHistory is erased when contributions go unrecognized, when achievements go uncredited, when stories are never funded, never produced, never preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIt changes what we believe is possible. That is why the work you do matters,\u201d she continued. \u201cNot just because you make films, but because you shape culture. You help us understand one another; you challenge what we think we know; you create empathy in a world that increasingly rewards outrage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tDays earlier, at the Perelman Performing Arts Center across from One World Trade Center, Rosenthal and Tribeca co-founder Robert De Niro shared similar sentiments honoring the festival\u2019s 25th anniversary and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg\u2019s contributions to launching it with 1300 volunteers just 120 days after Sept. 11. Among those in the room that night were Whoopi Goldberg, Ayo Edebiri, Rosanna Arquette, Denis Leary and Marcus Samuelsson. <\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe festival\u2019s opening day came about when Lower Manhattan was still reeling. A lot was uncertain, and a lot of people thought that the area might never recover,\u201d Bloomberg recalled in his speech Monday evening. \u201cFew believed that the neighborhood could become stronger and more vibrant than ever. But I know that both Bob and Jane did.\u201d \t<\/p>\n

\tFor festival co-founder Robert De Niro, \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t have even gotten to the first one without Mike\u2019s innovative and passionate support,\u201d he told the private gathering. \u201cTonight, this room is filled with people who have given so much to the festival. I don\u2019t want to say that Mike Bloomberg towers above us all, but let\u2019s just say he stands out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tRosenthal was clear in her praise of Bloomberg and his administration\u2019s role in helping revitalize lower Manhattan through the festival, alongside the contributions of other politicians like former Governor George Pataki, who \u201cwalked with me and Liam Neeson to every firehouse in Lower Manhattan to give out tickets\u201d in 2002. Rosenthal specifically pointed to how Bloomberg\u2019s personal contributions brought the city back \u201cfrom the brink,\u201d she said. \u201cMike\u2019s predecessor self-styles himself as America\u2019s mayor, but we were blessed to have Mike Bloomberg as New York\u2019s mayor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tBoth events embraced the authenticity, resilience, perseverance, innovation and sense of community that drive the festival. At the Through Her Lens Luncheon, Twilight<\/em> and Thirteen<\/em> helmer Hardwicke recalled that \u201copening night, where they explained [the festival\u2019s] history to 9\/11 and the build-up. It\u2019s incredible that [Rosenthal] and Robert had the vision to do such a remarkable seismic thing to change the neighborhood. How can anybody not admire hell out of her?\u201d \t<\/p>\n

\t\u201cEverything about this festival seemed completely impossible in 2001,\u201d said Drena De Niro in a separate conversation on Friday. \u201cI watched Jane really spearhead this all out of passion, getting my father involved, getting everybody in the neighborhood involved. This is just such an emotional and amazing thing to see. Jane is one of the most focused people I know. She doesn\u2019t spend time on all the things that are reasons why not to make it happen, and I have really admired that drive and confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe result, De Niro says, is a festival and event with Chanel that is \u201cnot a competitive environment, and that\u2019s what\u2019s so wonderful. You realize we all want the same thing. We all want to tell our story, we all want respect, we all want to connect. Here we are all together as one celebrating the same purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe goals of the festival, say Glashow, are unsurprisingly similar to those of Through Her Lens, as an intentional community and creative development effort. \u201cMy biggest focus is on continuing to grow the audience as we see the next wave. How do we make sure they are responding, that they know this is a place where they can tell their stories and be supported?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI do certainly see it getting bigger. There\u2019s a question of whether it can show up in other points of the year in different ways, where we have a deeper dive into one of the verticals that we go into?\u201d she continues. \u201cTaking it internationally<\/a> is a very big priority. The brand means a lot. It really translates because of our unique people\u2019s festival approach \u2014 we\u2019re seeing it resonate in Portugal and have that same impact as it did on New York, in both connecting with the local population, but also bringing in the industry and doing a lot to support the economy of the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
