9/11 Memorial Board Members De Niro, Rosenthal Keep Tribeca Film Festival Thriving
The Tribeca Film Festival kicks off today. The well-known movie celebration was founded by 9/11 Memorial Board members Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal. The festival, still going after 10 years, was created to help revitalize the lower Manhattan community. Businesses and residents have returned and the festival continues to attract crowds, although the founders didn’t plan on making it a yearly endeavor.
