Larry David in Whatever Works
The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff after the attacks on the World Trade Center "to help economically and culturally revitalise Lower Manhattan through an annual celebration of film, music, and culture."

Now in its eighth year, it has expanded to include additional venues across Manhattan. It will show 85 feature and 46 short films.

This year's festival opened with Woody Allen's Whatever Works.
