CALL FOR SUBMISSONS - Each year, filmmakers are asked to interpret a specified theme, in exactly one minute! The theme for 2005 is intersections. This year's theme was suggested by Alison Jutzi. Alison wins two tickets to the 2005 One Minute Film and Video Festival!

The One Minute Film & Video Festival is an opportunity for filmmakers, from professional to amateur, to create and screen new work based around a common theme. The strict time restriction puts a premium on creativity, while making the projects (reasonably) easy to accomplish in a short period of time.
