Every second counts. The Berlin Minute Festival takes it literally. A maximum of 60 seconds film length is allowed. The challenge is to tell a story in just 60 seconds. The founders of early cinema showed us how. For technical reasons, the first films often only had one camera shot and were no longer than one minute. Today we are again faced with a time challenge - the attention span is becoming shorter and shorter due to social media. The Berlin Minute Festival tries to set new visual impulses in the metropolis of Berlin with the 60-second format. Both Berlin artists and international artists are invited to submit one-minute films. Films of any genre can be submitted - films that amuse, shock or touch, whether poetic, musical or silent, with or without a happy ending, films that are committed (for climate protection, against racism, for human rights, ...), films that experiment with new forms of expression and, above all, films that move us. Our goal is to show as many films as possible and to connect people and filmmakers.
