The Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) is a year-round non-profit arts organization founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff, based in New York. Created during the influence of September 11, 2001, TFI's claims their mission is to empower filmmakers through grants and professional development, train the media-makers of the future by bringing film into the classroom, develop young audiences for independent film, and promote career development.

As of September 2020, TFI suspended operations due to "uncertainties surrounding our new reality" regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. “By no means is this the end of TFI... This pause in TFI’s activities will enable us to better position our focus and resources to support the greatest needs and where we can have the greatest impact, just like we did after 9/11.”[1]

Youth programming

TFI is the City of New York Department of Education’s partner for the filmmaking component of the DOE’s Summer Arts Institute.[2] TFI served as the primary cultural partner to develop the DOE’s Blueprint for the Teaching and Learning of the Moving Image.[3] Released in October 2009, the Blueprint is a curriculum guide for the study of film, television, and animation from grades K – 12 and sets benchmarks for a citywide standard for teaching media arts.[4]

TFI's youth programs include Tribeca Teaches: Films in Motion,[5] an in-school and after-school filmmaking residency; the Tribeca Youth Screening Series, a year-round program that provides students and teachers with access to relevant films and helps integrate film into the classroom curricula; Tribeca Film Fellows,[6] a pre-professional development program that brings twenty NYC high-school students behind-the-scenes of the Tribeca Film Festival; the Summer Arts Institute; and Our City, My Story,[6] an annual showcase of youth-made films.
