Films, like many things in life, come in all shapes and sizes. Tribeca Film Festival gave new meaning to short films this year, however, when it challenged people to create six-second films using Twitter's Vine app.

After narrowing the field of 400 submissions to 40 earlier this month, judges for this #6SecFilms contest announced the winners this weekend.

"We were most impressed with the creativity at play when it came to the submissions, after all, making a film or even telling a story in six seconds is not an easy feat," said Genna Terranova, Tribeca Film Festival's programming director.

Entries had to have a beginning, middle and end. The contest was divided into four categories: auteur, animate, genre and series (series submissions included three Vines each). Here are the winners in each category:

Category description: "These Vines told a story or script that was truly unique. A tiny, concentrated expression of the filmmaker's vision."

Category description: "This category was for filmmakers who saw Vine as the perfect medium for some creative animation and don't want to deal with the live-action riffraff."

Category description: "This is the category for all the sci-fi Vines, western Vines, LOLcat Vines, and comedy Vines. These shortlisters showed us how a genre film can thrive in six seconds."

Category description: "For those that had a story too big for just one Vine, we let them make it a trilogy."
