meet the residents of element city. the centrepiece was elemental a pixar movie set in a metropolis, which closed with a screening of a bronx tale directed by robert de niro. the festival has some very tangible accomplishments when it comes to gender representation. it has made great strides. of the films in competition this year, 70% were directed by women and they are very happy to be included. tribeca, it is the word on every movie director's lips. it is an absolute pinnacle of achievement for me. i am delighted to be in new york and i think tribeca are leading the way in terms of inclusivity and gender parity and promoting female film—makers because we still haven't got that parity and we don't have equal pay either. so all hats off to them. tribeca also brings out reporters, many who want to interview the stars.
