Tribeca Film Fest: It's a Wrap!

In Section: NY comPRESSed » Posted In: Film And TV, Nightlife, Manhattan Posted By: Beth Levin
- The 8th edition of the Tribeca Film Festival terminated with one final blast of green. At the Heineken-sponsored Wrap Party at the Union Square Ballroom on Saturday, the lighting matched the beer’s iconic labeling and the Audience Award Winner, Raymond De Felitta of City Island, received $25,000 for making so many Tribeca-ers happy. And that was without beer. The fest’s final debaucherous hours sort of became the ultimate college frat party: undernourished Heineken goddesses served a bustle of plus ones from a jumbo-sized keg as the bowtie and black-rimmed glasses wearing DJ spun snippets of Phil Collins and Flo Rida. You could sign your name (or write obscenities) on the glow in the dark board marked with motivational phrases like “Give Yourself a Good Name,” “Greenlight Yourself“ and “Choose Substance Over Special Effects,” while sipping the special Tribeca cocktail coined “The Red Carpet” a delicious combo of Stoli Raz, cranberry juice and Snapple. (And really, do try that at home.) All around, a perfect way to cheers the end of a week and a half of re-instilling economy back into lower Manhattan...even if most of the films were screened above Houston Street.
