The label however was formally revitalized and relaunched in January of 2024, with a focus of acquiring and distributing new and incisive works from filmmakers who premiered at festivals like Cannes, Venice, Sundance, Berline and TIFF.
The label was created to continue the New York spirit legacy of the Tribeca Film Festival and Tribeca Enterprises. Tribeca co-founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal stated “The Tribeca Festival has always...championed emerging filmmakers by providing a global platform to showcase their projects. As the film industry evolves, we recognize the need to better support independent filmmakers in today’s crowded streaming and distribution market." The goal of the Tribeca Films label would be to spotlight high quality independent films and give them life beyond the festival circuit.
Giant Pictures had been the distribution and technology partner of the Tribeca Festival for several years when they decided to partner on the label. Giant Pictures GM Nick Savva, stated “with deals for specialized films harder to come by, this is a great time for Tribeca to re-enter U.S. distribution.”

They also have a first-of-their-kind education based output agreement for public libraries and universities via a multi-year partnership with streaming services Kanopy and Kinema.
