Tribeca Festival Lisboa unveiled the first programming highlights for its highly anticipated 2025 edition, returning to Unicorn Factory Lisboa from October 30 to November 1. Following the success of its inaugural year, the second edition features a dynamic mix of programming and talent.
NYC VIBE was invited to hear about appearances by iconic film and television stars Kim Cattrall, Giancarlo Esposito, and Meg Ryan, who will join the festival for special conversations and spotlight events.
The festival will also host the Portuguese premiere of Honeyjoon, winner of the 2024 Tribeca Festival AT&T Untold Stories award. Directed by Lilian T. Mehrel and produced by Andreia Nunes, the film stars Ayden Mayeri, Amira Casar and acclaimed Portuguese actor José Condessa, alongside António Maria, Tiago Sarmento, Teresa Faria, and Tomás Furtado de Melo.
The 2025 edition expands to a three-day format and remains anchored at Unicorn Factory Lisboa, which now features a fully reimagined layout designed to foster a more immersive, community-driven experience. Additional screenings and events will be held at Teatro Ibérico and the Church of Convento do Beato – two upgraded venues located within walking distance of the main hub, enhancing the festival’s cinematic atmosphere.
