Tribeca2023: 22nd Tribeca Festival Opens with Film ‘Kiss the Future’
NEW YORK – The Summer film festival season kicks off with a legend, New York City’s preeminent Tribeca Festival, beginning Wednesday, June 7th with the Opening Night film “Kiss the Future.” The Fest will be in-person, but there is also an opportunity to experience “Tribeca at Home” by clicking TRIBECAatHOME.
The 2023 Tribeca Festival, presented by Web3 tech company OKX, brings artists and diverse audiences together to celebrate storytelling in all its forms, including film, TV, VR, gaming, music, and online work. With strong roots in independent film, Tribeca is a platform for creative expression and immersive entertainment.
”Kiss the Future” follows an underground community that worked and created throughout the nearly four-year-long Siege of Sarajevo. Sensing that a larger voice is needed, an American aid worker makes a longshot pitch to rockers U2 to help raise awareness about the Bosnian capital’s plight. The band immediately agrees and begins a series of live satellite interviews with local Sarajaevans during their 1993 ZOO TV Tour in an effort to highlight the direness of the situation on the ground. The film is produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
