Last year, the TriBeCa festival was assembled in 120 days by Mr. De Niro and the producer Jane Rosenthal, who created the TriBeCa Productions film development company in 1988, and Craig M. Hatkoff, a former Wall Street executive who is married to Ms. Rosenthal. The first festival screened 150 films during five days and drew 150,000 people. It also presented the premieres of some Hollywood films, including "Star Wars: Episode II ? Attack of the Clones."

This year the festival is bigger and longer. It includes two festivals with several special events, all lasting 10 days and spread across Lower Manhattan. The main festival offers more than 200 films, as well as panel discussions and filmmaker appearances. The family festival has been expanded to two weekends from one.
