Want To Know What An Award-Winning Six-Second Film Looks Like?
The Tribeca Film Festival announced the winners of its Vine competition over the weekend. They will put your cat clips to shame.
And there we were thinking Vine — the six-second looping video app which Twitter launched in January — was only good for poorly-edited cat clips, Roseanne Barr’s swear-filled how-tos, and messy eating montages.
Turns out there’s a whole art form behind them which Tribeca Film Festival celebrated over the weekend, announcing the winners across four categories of their #6SecFilms competition.
They had about 400 submissions in all (it’s still a VERY fledgeling genre), which was whittled down to 40 across the categories of Auteur, Genre, Animation and Series.
