Filminute is the international one-minute film festival dedicated to presenting, promoting and awarding one-minute films. Filminute was founded in 2005 and the inaugural festival ran in September 2006. Filminute looks for films that deliver a well-balanced equation of content, acting, dialogue, storytelling, photography and sound design. Filminute accepts films from the categories of fiction, animation, documentary and mashup.

Information

The annual festival and competition runs during the month of October (Filminute 2021 ran from 15 October to 15 November).

According to Ekow Eshun, artistic director of London's Institute of Contemporary Arts and Filminute 2006 jury member, Filminute "demonstrated a high level of polish and a strong and exciting progression in user-generated content.
