The One-Minute Film Festival in Gdańsk once again proves that cinema doesn’t have to be long to be powerful — from May 7 to 10, audiences can look forward to screenings, workshops, competition programs, and meetings with creators. The full program has been compiled.
— For over ten years, we have been supporting emerging authors, proving that a great cinematic adventure can start with 60 seconds, — say the organizers.
The One-Minute Film Festival returns to the Baltic Centre for Culture in Gdańsk in a new format and updated dates.
— We are responding to your needs, — say the organizers. — More events, three program directions, and above all, even more films! All of this during a time of year that fosters relationship building and dreams of new challenges.
First and foremost, the festival focuses on the uniqueness of the one-minute film format, the democratization of cinema, networking, and openness to the diversity of authors and audiences.
In the program of the new edition of FF1:00, three thematic directions can be highlighted:
- cinematic
- workshop
- networking
The entire event is united by a nationwide competition for a one-minute film with a prize pool of 26,000 zł.
