Overview
The One Shot Film Festival in Yerevan is an international short film festival founded in 2003 by the Armenian Centre for Contemporary Experimental Art. It is notable for its open, low-barrier format and its role in promoting independent cinema in Armenia, including work made on mobile phones, film, and HD cameras. The festival showcases three main strands: one-minute films made in a single take, short films up to 30 minutes, and an experimental section called "Cinema Without Borders" that includes video art and human-rights-themed work. In Armenia’s festival circuit, it is significant as a long-running platform for new filmmakers, special programs, and professional discussions that connect local and international artists.
