NIN Film Festival
As if the unexpected release of Ghosts and the Lollapalooza news weren’t enough, Trent Reznor apparently now has another surprise up his sleeve.
Sigur Ros recently did a similar youtube contest. More information after the jump and on Nine Inch Nail’s channel.
Today we announce the expansion of the Ghosts project into the visual world. This record began as an experiment with us using sound as a means to describe visuals. Early in the project we thought it would be interesting to see what the community could create / collaborate on as a reaction to the music we were making. We wanted to keep the canvas as blank as possible for you, hence the lack of descriptive song titles and the primarily textural artwork and packaging.
So here’s the plan: we’ve teamed up with YouTube to host a “film festival” around Ghosts. The concept is for you to take whatever tracks you feel inspired by from Ghosts and create what you feel should accompany them visually. You will be able to see all of the submissions, and a team of us (including me) will be sorting through them and setting aside ones we feel are exceptional. Eventually (within a couple of months?) we will present a virtual “film festival” with me and some special guests presenting selections of your work.

Besides Trent, who currently makes up the rest of Nine Inch Nails, you may ask? Echoing the Sound has details.

Even if you hate his music, you have to love Trent Reznor.
