If you’ve never heard of the Tribeca Film Festival, it’s one of the most prestigious out there. Held in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood, the festival was partly created by De Niro.
The festival was launched in the aftermath of 9/11, when Tribeca was devastated by the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. They show all kinds of films – remakes, art-house, blockbusters, everything.
This time, they’re going to go full De Niro in honor of their founder. Fellow Tribeca co-founder Jane Rosenthal said of the event, “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate 80 years of Robert De Niro, my dear friend and co-conspirator for the past 35 years, than by throwing a big bash for his fellow New Yorkers.”
So what exactly do we get?
To honor the Italian-American actor, Tribeca will run 10 De Niro movies, each one greater than the last. Here’s the full list:
As you can see, De Niro and Scorsese have had quite the working relationship over the years!
But that’s not all. They’re really going all out with the “fan experience” events, “including Max Cady’s prison tattoo parlor from Cape Fear (where fans can get real or temporary tattoos), Travis Bickle’s bedroom from Taxi Driver, and Jack Byrnes’ infamous polygraph test from Meet The Parents.”
I don’t know about you, but it sounds fun to goof around with the polygraph machine.
