The Tribeca Film Festival has been a host to people known in film, politics, and the world of fashion. De Blasio and his wife Chrilane McCray appeared at a party at the Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday, as did Gov. Andrew Cuomo, flanked by bodyguards.
Unexpectedly, the politicians were seen on Wednesday night under the dome of the New York State Supreme Court in Lower Manhattan. Erik Maza of Women’s Wear Daily said that the mayor and governor looked like “two sluggers making their way through a crowd of fans before getting into the ring.”
Graydon Carter’s party was a celebrity filled evening. Former Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was surprised to hear that the governor was in attendance. Anna Wintour, Harvey Weinstein, Ray Kelly, Ron Perelman, Jack Dorsey, Tom Freston, Jane Rosenthal, Vivi Nevo, Tory Burch, Pulitzer Prize winner Donna Tartt, and Christy Turlington attended the party. According to the NY Post’s Page Six, Wednesday night’s party was one of the festival’s hottest tickets.
Films the Tribeca Film Festival this year have included Time is Illmatic, In Your Eyes, Just Before I Go, and Chef.
The Tribeca Film Festival is continuing through Sunday, April 27.
