After Cannes, we land in New York. Kick-off Fri 5 June, screening Sun 7 June, in the run-up to the Tribeca Film Festival. Three tracks this time — hackathon filmmaking, an open Best AI Film prize (any film, not just hackathon entries), and a builders track for products shipped during the hack.
Tribeca runs from Fri 5 June through to a big-screen screening on Sun 7 June. Builders and filmmakers in the same room, on the same team. The shift from Cannes: this time the prize-bench widens to include films that weren't made during the hack, plus a dedicated builders' lane for the tooling shipping live.
Develop, storyboard, shoot and cut a short in a weekend. One theme, revealed live. Filmmakers bring craft, builders bring tooling. Ships: one short film, screening at the Sun 7 Jun finale.
A new open prize this year — submissions don't have to be made during the hackathon. Films from anywhere in the year are welcome to enter. Best in show plays at the Sun 7 Jun finale alongside the hack winners.
For products built during the hackathon — the cinematic tooling that powers the work on screen. Pair with a filmmaker team to road-test live, or run solo. Ships: a working product demo.
In-person at our New York venue plus online entries worldwide. Same Cannes-grade industry jury, same Cinéum-cinema-grade screening standard — this time held at a Tribeca partner venue. Cannes finalists are invited to compete again under the new theme. Headline sponsors from the Cannes programme get first refusal on the New York chapter.
