Subject Matter is thrilled to collaborate with the 2026 Tribeca Festival to sell exclusive VIP hospitality experiences to their festival (in addition to VIP Z Passes) as a fundraiser for our work! Tribeca Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and will run from June 3rd - 14th, 2026.
We’ll also be at the Festival to award a grant to a film in the Tribeca documentary program that shines a light on an urgent social issue, along with a grant to a nonprofit that is working on the featured topic. We hope you’ll catch us at one of the screenings as we rally audiences to join us in supporting the nonprofit to create a positive community action in response to the film.
