Tribeca Enterprises, the organizers of the the famous annual Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, have tied-up with YouTube to announce a 10-day online celebration of movies with programming from 20 of the biggest and most well-known global film festivals, including Berlin International Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival and more. Called ‘We Are One: A Global Film Festival’, the digital event will be available exclusively on YouTube from May 29 to June 7. All programming will be free and will include shorts, documentaries, music, comedy and conversations. A full schedule will be available closer to the festival start date.
