We believe that a capable filmmaker can tell a story in just 60 seconds. We also believe that most of our brains have adapted to a shorter attention span as spurred on by social media channels. And so we created this festival as an outlet for both filmmakers and audience alike to enjoy micro short works of art.

    Amazing festival! It was an honor to win 3rd place in the 2024 program. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend in person as I live out of the country. Nonetheless, I appreciate this chance to put my work out there! Thank you for a highly communicative event.
