The Tribeca Film Festival, which is going into its 16th year, has long been known to filmmakers for embracing innovation.
In 2005, before YouTube launched, Tribeca partnered with Amazon on a digital film contest. The first film shot on a cell phone premiered at the festival in 2007.
This is also not the first time Tribeca has partnered with an app. In 2013, the Film Festival introduced the #6SecFilm contest with Vine.
This year, up to 10 films will be selected by Tribeca to be a part of the Festival’s Shapchat Shorts program.
