In the era of YouTube home movies, an international festival is channeling filmmaking quality into a 60-second format designed to challenge filmmakers, writers, animators, artists, designers and creative producers to develop and submit the world’s best one-minute films.
The eighth edition of the Filminute Festival gathers this year 19 countries from 6 continents. Throughout the month of September you can watch, rate, comment and help decide the People’s Choice by voting for your favorite (one vote per person) here.
