This past Thursday, April 20th, the luxury watch brand IWC Schaffhausen hosted their fifth annual star-studded event at Spring Studios in support of the Tribeca Film Festival.

The event had notable attendees on the guest list such as actor and Tribeca Film Festival (TFF) co-founder Robert DeNiro , IWC Brand Ambassadors and actresses Rosamund Pike and Taylor Schilling, actresses Zosia MametUma Thurman and Alice Eve, actor Ryan Eggold, TFF juror and actress Christina Ricci, TFF Juror and actor Anthony Mackie, along with models Adriana Lima and Karolina Kurkova and TFF co-founders Craig Hatkoff and Jane Rosenthal.

The well-heeled crowd was kept in stitches all night as host, Samantha Bee — from the hit show Full Frontal on TBS — poked fun at everything, from our current political leaders to some famous faces in the room. The stylish guests were also treated to an intimate performance by Tony and Grammy Award Winner, Cynthia Erivo, who dazzled the crowd with her stunning vocals.

IWC showcased their support of the festival by making a donation to the Tribeca Film Institute, a nonprofit arts organization that supports filmmakers. The award was presented to filmmaker, Chloe Zhao at the dinner and consists of a cash prize of $50,000, providing production or post-production funds to one feature-length narrative film, which demonstrates innovation and technical mastery, inventiveness through direction, cinematography and/or editing or forward-thinking storytelling.
