When the Tribeca Film Festival was launched in 2002, co-founders Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff talked a good game about rebuilding downtown Manhattan in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. As has been documented here and elsewhere, they clearly had a business objective in mind as well. Their initial goal -- to build a New York spring film festival on a global par with Cannes, Sundance, Berlin and Venice -- has clearly not been reached. On balance, I don't think that's a bad thing.
