On Friday, a number of Hollywood’s established and emerging creatives — including Meg Ryan, Jodie Foster, Katie Holmes, Catherine Hardwicke, Myha’la, AnnaSophia Robb and Tommy Dorfman — joined Tribeca Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal at the Greenwich Hotel to celebrate the Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program as part of an annual luncheon.
The starry event saw guests dressed in their best summer Chanel looks as they mingled across the hotel’s first floor with key festival, Through Her Lens and Tribeca Enterprises leadership. That included CEO Rebecca Glashow, who celebrated the festival, the company and the program’s history of female-forward work. “At Tribeca, I’m happy to say that over 70 percent of our team is made up of women,” Glashow said to cheers. “Beyond the number, though, it reflects a culture built on the belief that diverse voices make things stronger, more creative and more connected to the world around us. That is the belief at the heart of everything that we do at Tribeca, and what makes Through Her Lens so special.”
Glashow passed the mic to Rosenthal, who began by congratulating director Quinn Whitney Wilson for the Netflix acquisition of the Tribeca Festival world premiere and her directorial doc debut, Jean-Michel Basquiat. After a round of whoops, cheers and a little dancing, Rosenthal pivoted to thanking Chanel for continuing to support the event before delivering her reliably rousing address.
