Introduction:

The 60 Second Film Festival screens films with a running time of one minute or less (including titles and credits). The possibilities are unlimited, as long as you stick to the 60 second time limit. We love to receive a diversity of content and technique. Do you want to produce a one minute Hollywood quality film? How about a DIY comedy? Try an experimental art film. Create a public service message or a documentary. Direct that music video. It’s all most welcome, and much appreciated by our audiences! Please check individual event descriptions for specific inspirations and / or content restrictions.
