Priyanka Chopra, who is gearing up for her Hollywood debut with Baywatch in May, spent Thursday at a jury luncheon for the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Not only did the 34-year-old actress dine with Academy Award-winning actors, Robert De Niro and Whoopi Goldberg, and festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal, PeeCee also did a photoshoot for the festival bulletin and discussed the Documentary and Student Visionary Competitions, which she is judging alongside Olivia Thirlby, Ryan Eggold, Brendan Fraser and Ileen Gallagher. The festival which will run from April 19 to April 30 is being hosted by Michael Rapaport with the winners being announced on April 27 at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center.
"Did you know that all the paintings and artwork at the Centre are done by Robert De Niro's father?" PeeCee beamed while sharing trivia from the event. "An evening with the greats," she added, congratulating De Niro for "16 years of creativity and inspiration". The festival was founded in 2002 by Rosenthal, De Niro and Craig Hatkoff. The trio had wanted to set up a festival for a long time and announced it in response to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the consequent loss of spirit in the Tribeca neighbourhood in Lower Manhattan.
