Mayor gifts Robert de Niro key to the city during opening night of Tribeca Festival
A host of actors and filmmakers gathered at a private party in the Tribeca Bar and Grill to celebrate the first night of what will be almost two weeks of festivities, from movie premieres to video game previews. However, the event was christened with Mayor Adams presenting De Niro with the key to the city for his contributions to the Big Apple, including helping to bring much needed resources to the city by developing the festival following the devastating 9/11 terror attacks.
“He’s actually very much a visionary because he saw the potential of a massive resurrection of this part of the city. And he saw that he was able to make a new city within the city,” Scorsese said. “Within two months, we did it. We did it and it became international.”
