Atom Egoyan in the Tribeca Film Festival 2011 Jury
| Honorary Board / Atom Egoyan, Canada |
The tenth Tribeca Film Festival, which runs April 20 - May 1, has announced its jurors, among whom the Canadian filmmaker, director and Civilitas Foundation honorary board member Atom Egoyan. Egoyan joins the eclectic quartet of moviemaker David O Russel, Whoopi Goldberg, actor Michael Cera and funnyman Denis Leary on the panel. The festival features six competitive categories with 38 judges divided across the categories. The winning films, filmmakers and actors in those categories will be announced at the Tribeca Awards Night ceremony on 28 April streamed live on TribecaFilm.com.
Egoyan is a juror for the 2011 Emerging Narrative Competition together with Paul Dano (Independent Spirit and SAG award nominated actor), Zoe Kazan (TFF 2009 Best Actress winner for The Exploding Girl), Anna Kendrick (Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe , SAG, Independent Spirit and Tony award nominated actress) and Rainn Wilson (Emmy and SAG Award nominee for television’s The Office).
The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Robert De Niro and Craig Hatkoff in a response to the September 11, 2011 attacks on the World Trade Center and the consequent loss of vitality in the TriBeCa neighborhood in Manhattan. The mission of the festival is “to enable the international film community and the general public to experience the power of film by redefining the film festival experience.” The Tribeca Film Festival was founded to celebrate New York City as a major filmmaking center and to contribute to the long-term recovery of lower Manhattan.
