Tribeca Film Festival®, The Lincoln Motor Company®, Interlude and Genero.tv are pleased to announce that we will launch "Tribeca Interactive: A Music Film Challenge" at the 2014 Festival. 

Beginning today, digital storytellers can create an interactive music film from their choice of three music tracks: "Heavy Seas of Love" by Damon Albarn from his forthcoming album; "Ticking Bomb" by Aloe Blacc, or "Dead in the Water" by Ellie Goulding (which is featured in the Divergent Soundtrack) . A jury will select finalists for each of the three music tracks, with the artists aiding the jury to select the winner for each of their respective songs.

The winning entry will be aligned with Damon Albarn's “Everyday Robots” album official campaign, Aloe Blacc's “Lift Your Spirit,” and Ellie Goulding’s “Halcyon Days” respectively. Submissions close on March 27 with the winning filmmakers receiving $10,000 each and a trip to attend the Tribeca Film Festival. 

To participate, filmmakers will use Treehouse – Interlude’s self-service authoring suite – to create an interactive music film set to one of the three songs. With Treehouse’s simple and intuitive interface, participants can design their interactive music films in a multi-branch, multi-layered, tree-structured style, which will allow viewers to play an active role in the storytelling process.

To encourage participation, Genero will leverage its vast community and engage filmmakers from across the world who have made official music videos for artists, including Moby, David Lynch, Duran Duran, Muse, David Guetta, and many more.

Go to Genero.tv/Tribeca for all the details on how to enter. 

TFF will showcase the finalists’ films during the Tribeca Online Festival and display them throughout Festival venues and lounges via interactive kiosks, in addition to the Challenge website. Questions regarding submissions may be directed to info@genero.tv.
