about the festival
The One Minute Film and Video Festival was founded in 2003,
as the result of a dare among lapsed-filmmaker friends in Toronto. The idea was
to complete a project based in imposed time and subject-matter restrictions, in
order to make it easier to get motivated.
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.
The One Minute Film and Video Festival is held annually and runs for
one night at the Bloor Cinema in Toronto. Our themes so far have been
neighbours, firsts, and intersections. The theme
for 2006 is growth.
