The festival has been enhanced with improved venues, upgraded screenings, and an even more welcoming atmosphere for everyone involved. Jane Rosenthal, co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises, expressed her excitement, noting that “Lisbon welcomed the Tribeca Festival with open arms last year, and we found a home away from home, a creative refuge filled with inspiration and innovation.”

Francisco Pedro Balsemão, CEO of Impresa, emphasized the unique experience the first festival provided to the Portuguese audience and looks forward to elevating the quality content and unforgettable discussions this year. Carlos Moedas, President of the Lisbon City Council, reiterated the festival's importance in reinforcing Lisbon's commitment to culture and artistic innovation, solidifying its status as a major global cultural hub.

The inaugural festival featured the Portuguese premiere of “Anora” by Sean Baker, which won five Oscars, including Best Picture.
