FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIFTEENTH ANNUAL TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL, PRESENTED BY AT&T, ANNOUNCES NEW BRANDED STORYTELLING AWARD
Inaugural Tribeca X Award to honor the best artist-brand collaboration of the past year and celebrate new paradigm for creative storytelling
***
Submissions open February 8- March 4
NEW YORK, NY- February 6, 2015 -The Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), presented by AT&T, today announced the Tribeca X Award, sponsored by GE, a new juried award for branded storytelling recognizing the intersection of advertising and entertainment, will launch at the festival's 15th edition in April. Submissions will be open February 8 through March 4 for the competition, which will highlight the excellence, authenticity, originality and creativity in storytelling that is sponsored or underwritten by a brand and recognize the best artist-brand collaboration of the past year. The 15th annual TFF will take place April 13-24, 2016.
The Tribeca X is open to all work produced between January 2015 and March 2016 funded with support of a brand in collaboration with artists or filmmakers. Eligible projects include scripted and documentary work for film, tv, digital, social, and VR/AR, in both feature or short length. The top projects will be highlighted by the Tribeca Film Festival, and a jury will award the winning selection at the Festival.
For the past decade, a shift has taken place across traditional models of entertainment, art, and advertising, as brands step in to serve as financiers and studios, and become catalysts for high quality, provocative storytelling, said Jane Rosenthal, founder and executive chair, Tribeca Film Festival. We hope that this award inspires brands to push the boundaries and create authentic and compelling stories with artists.
The best stories compel, engage and delight their audiences. And for brands to really break through, these stories need to be just as engaging as the best entertainment, films and documentaries. We're incredibly proud that TFF has recognized this and GE is proud to celebrate the best work conceived by/for a brand with the new 2016 Tribeca X Award, said Linda Boff, CMO of GE.
The Tribeca X joins a robust slate of programs at TFF that celebrate storytelling across genres and mediums, including the fourth annual Storyscapes, a juried section showcasing groundbreaking exhibits in technology and interactive storytelling, as well as virtual reality, video games, and online works.
