This year's festival opens with a documentary about the soul funk band Earth, Wind & Fire.
It was directed and produced by Questlove.
Over the next 12 days, the festival will feature films from around the world, as well as podcasts and video games.
There's also a retrospective celebration of the 1976 film Taxi Driver.
Actor Robert De Niro, who starred in that movie, created the Tribeca Film Festival along with his producing partner Jane Rosenthal after terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan.
People were saying they were afraid to come downtown.
Rosenthal and De Niro say the festival was their way of revitalizing Lower Manhattan.
25 years later, cinephiles are still flocking there.
SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers didn't give details about the tentative contract, but they say it will cover performances in films, scripted primetime TV, streaming shows, and new media.
The union's national board is set to meet in the coming days to review the terms before union members vote on whether to ratify it.
The new contract is expected to cover the next four years and comes after a hard-won three-year contract in 2023.
That's when union members went on strike for months before negotiators hashed out terms for protections against AI and other sticking points.
The new contract may expand on those issues, and it was struck a month after the Producers' Alliance made a new contract with the Writers Guild of America, which was also on strike three years ago.

Nick Reiner was in court wearing a prison-issued jumpsuit to tell a judge he was not guilty of murdering his parents.
Since the day Rob and Michelle Reiner were found stabbed to death, the 32-year-old has been locked behind bars at L.A.
He's charged with two counts of first-degree murder, and he's now represented by a public defender.
