Tribeca Is Welcoming Two New Programmers!

We’re welcoming some new members into the Tribeca team! Veteran festival programmers Faridah Gbadamosi and Jarod Neece have joined the team as the newest Senior Programmers, ahead of the 2023 Tribeca Festival.

Gbadamosi is a seasoned film curator and culture critic working towards making the space more inclusive. Her interests are in changing the space of tastemakers and rethinking the models for curation and exhibition. She has worked in various roles at different film festivals and film organizations, including the California Film Institute, Athena Film Festival, and Seattle International Film Festival. Most recently, she worked as the Artistic Director of Outfest during its 40th anniversary.?

Neece is the former Chief Creative Officer for CURIA, an independent film streaming platform. Prior to CURIA, he was a Partner, Film Programmer, and Event Producer for the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX. Since 2002, he helped guide the strategic direction and provided team leadership as one of the festival's Senior Film Programmers with an emphasis on Feature Film and Genre Programming. He has been a juror or panelist at several events, including Cannes, Sundance, and TIFF.

“As Tribeca disrupts the traditional festival space, expanding beyond film and our annual tentpole event to elevate all forms of storytelling, we’re happy to announce that Faridah and Jarod are joining our ranks. Their expertise rounds out our lineup of exceptional programmers and solidifies Tribeca as an industry leader across film, TV, VR, games, music, and audio,” said Paula Weinstein, Chief Content Officer.?
