The Tribeca Film Festival is almost upon us, set to run April 18-29 in New York City. However, the event will have an added Italian flair thanks to a new partnership with Bulgari, this year's official jewelry sponsor. To celebrate the collaboration, the brand enlisted female filmmakers Nina Meredith and Bella Monticelli to create two short films inspired by the resilience of women. Created in partnership with Tribeca Studios, the films will debut during the fest. 

Monticelli's short, a documentary about conductor Speranza Scappucci called Conducting a Revolution, will portray the passion and determination that helped propel Scappucci's success in a male-dominated field of conducting.

The second film, Meredith's The Litas, follows three women — a police officer, a filmmaker and a motorcycle aficionado — who are members of the Rome branch of the women's motorcycle group of the same name.
