Tribeca has announced programming for DENIRO CON, June 14-16 at Spring Studios in NYC. A celebration of 80 years of Robert DeNiro. The multi day event will include a World Premiere of "DeNiro, New York" a First-of-its Kind Immersive short film. Programming includes a screening series with 13 classic DeNiro films, a 50th Anniversary screening of MEAN STREETS, live conversations with long-time collaborators; a career-spanning exhibit with archives from DeNiro's personal archive, fan experiences and activations as well.
"I can't think of a better way to celebrate 80 years of Robert De?Niro, my dear friend and co-conspirator for the past 35 years, than by throwing a big bash for his fellow New Yorkers," said Tribeca co-founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. "From conversations with legends like Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and David O. Russell to fan experiences, it is going to be a truly historic weekend as we pay tribute to a great talent."
"Robert De Niro is an acting icon," said Billy Crystal. "He is one of my closest friends and working with him was one of the great experiences of my career. I'm really excited to honor him and his fantastic career this June."
The 50th Anniversary of Mean Streets, presented by City National Bank, includes a post-screening conversation with Martin Scorsese and De?Niro, moderated by Nas at the Beacon Theatre.
Capping off the De?Niro Con celebration are a range of fun-filled interactive activations based on some of De?Niro's most beloved films, including Max Cady's prison tattoo parlor from Cape Fear (where fans can get real or temporary tattoos), Travis Bickle's bedroom from Taxi Driver, and Jack Byrnes' infamous polygraph test from Meet The Parents.
