The 16th Edition of the Tribeca Film Festival opens on April 19th, 2017, with “Clive Davis, The Soundtrack of Our Lives.” The film chronicles the historic influence of Mr. Davis, “The Man with the Golden Ears,” who as president of Columbia Records, founder of Arista Records, CEO of RCA Music Group and currently the Chief Creative Officer of Sony Music Entertainment was behind such music luminaries as Janis Joplin, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Aerosmith, Earth Wind & Fire, Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, Carly Simon, the Grateful Dead, Lou Reed, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson. Paula Weinstein, Executive Vice President of Tribeca Enterprises said, “The Tribeca Film Festival has a wonderful tradition of artists supporting artists, so honoring Clive Davis and his unwavering commitment to music and creativity is the perfect way to open our 16th annual festival.”
The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Craig Hatkoff and actor Robert De Niro as a reactive strike back at the September 11th attack in 2001 on New York City and the nearby Tribeca neighborhood.
