The One Minutes
Emerging or unverified festival
The One Minutes in Amsterdam is a global platform centered on exactly one-minute films, rather than a conventional competitive festival. Based at the Sandberg Instituut, it releases recurring series of 60-second works and distributes them through museums, cultural organizations, galleries, cinemas, and festivals worldwide, making it notable as a widely networked moving-image initiative. Its significance lies in how it uses the strict one-minute format to support experimental, documentary, narrative, and other short-form video work while connecting artists to an international audience.
