Virtuoso Insights - December 2008 - (Page 51) Tribeca Film Festival United States April 22 – may 3, 2009 After the attacks of September 11, 2001, actor Robert De Niro and film producer Jane Rosenthal wanted to create a festival that both celebrated New York filmmakers and helped revitalize their beloved TriBeCa neighborhood in Lower Manhattan. With just 120 days to plan, the inaugural event was an enormous success, bringing 150,000 attendees and more than $10 million in much-needed revenue to the area. The following year, the Tribeca Film Festival more than doubled in size, showcasing not only independent feature and short films but studio premieres, and also featuring live concerts, panel discussions, and unique offerings such as “drive-in” outdoor screenings by the Hudson River. The festival now hosts more than 1,000 screenings throughout Manhattan, and has premiered such hit films as About a Boy, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, and Akeelah and the Bee. The 2008 festival gave its top prize, the Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature, to the Swedish horror-drama Let the Right One In, which explores the relationship between a young loner and his vampire girlfriend. seeing iT: Located on floors 35 to 54 of the Time Warner Center on the southwestern tip of Central Park, the Mandarin Oriental, New York offers what are arguably some of the best views across midtown Manhattan — and every guestroom features floor-to-ceiling windows so you can soak it all in. The hotel also houses one of the city’s hottest restaurants, Asiate, thanks to Chef Noriyuki Sugie and his exciting French-Japanese fusion fare. Virtuoso guests enjoy a one-category upgrade upon arrival, if available; Continental breakfast daily; and two cocktails and signature appetizers at MObar, once per stay. From $860 per room, per night. more celluloid Travels on page 52 P Flying high: the film festival’s flag in 2008 and (below) a sidewalk café in Tribeca.
