L.A. Noire honored at film festival
Rockstar Games' crime thriller is the first video game ever to be selected
Rockstar Games and Team Bondi have announced that L.A. Noire has been honored as an Official Selection at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. The selection marks the first time ever that a video game has been recognized by the festival.
"We're thrilled that L.A. Noire is being recognized by the Tribeca Film Festival in this way," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "It's a real honor, and another step forward for interactive entertainment."
Rockstar Games will also present an exclusive preview of L.A. Noire as part of the Tribeca Talks series, taking place on April 25, 2011. The presentation will feature a live interactive screening of a case from L.A. Noire, followed by a Q&A exploring the crossover between filmmaking and interactive entertainment. The Q&A will focus on the making of L.A. Noire, the technology behind it, and story and action in this medium, and will be moderated by Geoff Gilmore, Tribeca Enterprises' Chief Creative Officer.
"What Rockstar and Team Bondi have accomplished with L.A. Noire is nothing less than groundbreaking," added Gilmore. "It's an invention of a new realm of storytelling that is part cinema, part gaming, and a whole new realm of narrative expression, interactivity, and immersion. We are poised on the edge of a new frontier."
L.A. Noire is set to hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in May.
