The Yacoubian Building
The 2006 Tribeca Film Festival has concluded with a star-studded awards dinner at The Golden Bridge in New York City.
This year's festival featured 274 films from 40 countries.
"We're very pleased with the growth of the festival and most appreciative of the support we've received from our sponsors, the community and all our volunteers," said Robert De Niro, who founded the festival in 2002 as a response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.
