Filminute on MUBI Garage
by Garage
Filminute is pleased to announce its collaboration with film website “MUBI” and its online film production studio and workshop the Garage.
Filminute is the international one-minute film festival dedicated to presenting, promoting and awarding the world's best one-minute films. Filminute was founded in 2005 and the inaugural festival ran in September 2006. Like other leading international film festivals, Filminute looks for films that deliver a well-balanced equation of content, acting, dialogue, storytelling, photography and sound design. Filminute accepts films from the categories of fiction, animation, documentary and mashup.
The annual festival and competition runs throughout the month of September and consists of a shortlist of 25 films. An international jury consisting of luminaries from the fields of filmmaking, literature, art and communications is responsible for the awarding of Best Filminute while audiences worldwide are invited online to view and vote for the People's Choice Award.
Through its focus on high quality content and international high-profile juries, the festival has managed to attract top filmmakers from the established and emerging world of independent filmmaking, and present their work to a truly global audience. Last year’s 5th edition of the festival attracted submissions from 60 countries and audiences from 124 countries. In total, the selection committee screened more than 1,500 films before narrowing down to the 25-film shortlist.
Filminute’s juries span the globe and have include Oscar winning directors (Paul Haggis), Pulitzer-prize winning writers (Michael Ondaatje), Grammy award winning artists (Stefan Sagmeister) and Cannes Golden Lion-winning creative directors (Mark Tutssel, Tham Khai Meng). Filminute is also honored each year to have a representative of FIPRESCI on its jury.

Filminute is looking for remarkable, narrative-driven one-minute films (60 seconds - no more, no less). What makes a great one-minute film? Many have weighed in on this question. To date, the best and most concise answer is that a great one-minute film resonates with the viewer long after the 60-seconds have elapsed.
