Tribeca Festival is set to hold the second annual Tribeca Festival Lisboa in Lisbon, Portugal from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, 2025, it was announced Tuesday.
The return of the European edition after an inaugural 2024 event is a partnership between Tribeca Enterprises, the city of Lisbon, Portuguese broadcaster SIC and the local Opto streamer. The second annual festival will include a mix of U.S. indie films, Portuguese movies, TV series, podcasts and music showcases, alongside industry programming.
“Last year, the city of Lisbon welcomed Tribeca with open arms and we found a home away from home, a creative haven buzzing with inspiration and innovation. This year, we’re thrilled to return for the second annual Tribeca Festival Lisboa,” Jane Rosenthal, co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises said in a statement about her festival offering an international platform to bring local films to international audiences.
“Tribeca believes that cities flourish when their artistic communities are supported, which is why this partnership means so much to us, and we’re honored to continue to share our global platform with the city’s incredible talent,” Rosenthal added. The inaugural Tribeca Festival Lisboa opened with the Oscar-winning film Anora.
“Year one of Tribeca Festival Lisboa was an amazing and unique experience for Portuguese audiences. We are thrilled to host this event once again, where we will increase talent, quality content and unforgettable talks. We thank Bob, Jane and the Tribeca team for their unwavering partnership and are eager to write this new and exciting chapter together with them,” Francisco Pedro Balsemao, CEO of Impresa, said in a statement, as he also cited Tribeca co-founder Robert De Niro.
“Hosting this prestigious festival at the Unicorn Factory not only highlights the city’s creative energy, but also solidifies Lisbon as a major global cultural hub. It is an honor to welcome Tribeca once again, and we look forward to the enriching experiences it will bring to our community,” Lisbon mayor Carlos Moedas added.
Tribeca’s international tour earlier included a partnership with the Doha Film Institute in Qatar to hold the Doha Tribeca Film Festival over four years from 2009. In recent years, Tribeca has moved beyond its roots in New York City to also hold annual events in Los Angeles and Miami.
