The 10-day digital festival exclusively on YouTube, produced and organized by Tribeca Enterprises, will feature programming curated by 20 festivals including Berlin International Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival and many more, enabling audiences to experience films from around the world and providing a voice for filmmakers on a global stage.

Through We Are One: A Global Film Festival, audiences will not only get a peek into different cultures through a new lens, they’ll be able to support local communities by directly donating to organizations helping the relief efforts for those affected by COVID-19. The festival will benefit the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as local relief partners in each region. 
We Are One: A Global Film Festival will run from May 29 - June 7 on YouTube.com/WeAreOne.
Programming will be available for free, and will include films, shorts, documentaries, music, comedy, and conversations.
