The Minne Mini Film Festival is returning for 2018!
The Minne Mini isn’t like most film festivals. Our programming shares a key defining element: all films must be two minutes in length or less!
The goal of the Minne Mini is to be inclusive of filmmakers of all experience levels and representative of the diverse voices in the Twin Cities filmmaking community and beyond. We see the two minute time limit as a great equalizer - a unifying blank canvas. We’re giving every filmmaker the same amount of time to express themselves, but what they do with that time is entirely their own. We welcome stories of all types, too, from drama and comedy to genres like science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
Our program is short by comparison: around two hours. However, since the films are all two minutes or less, we can show a lot in that brief amount of time! At our previous event in 2017, we were be able to screen 61 films with 31 from local filmmakers in Minnesota! With that number of voices on display and the variety of content, our program is quite a wild ride!
We will be open for submissions June 18, 2018. If you’re a filmmaker, we encourage you to submit! Exercise the economy of your storytelling. Try something new. We look forward to seeing your work!
