In five days, the technique and possibilities of one-minute films are explained to students and the format is applied. Students do their own research and the limited time of one minute forces them to think sharply about their idea, whether it is a form research, a statement, experiment, short story or documentary. The last years, we have integrated these workshops more with our monthly series and the artists who put together our series are involved in the workshops. This way, the workshops get more depth and the films produced in workshops can be published.
Invite to curate a series
Every month, The One Minutes puts out a new series of one-minute films that investigate how we perceive and engage with moving image. Museums and cultural organisations around the world subscribe to the series. As a curator of The One Minutes Series, we ask you to think of a theme, make an open call video of one minute inviting people to send in and select One Minutes that were send in and/or select One Minutes produced in the workshop and/or select One Minutes from our collection. The One Minutes Series were curated by a.o. Melanie Bonajo, David Claerbout, Cécile B. Evans, Va-Bene E. Fiatsi (crazinisT artisT), Lorna Mills, Samson Kambalu, Khavn, Nathaniel Mellors, Erkka Nissinen, Egill Sæbjörnsson and Cally Spooner.
