Terrassa, Spain


Welcome to our 60-second short film festival.

Can you imagine telling a story in just one minute? That's what we're looking for in this festival: creativity, wit, and originality in each of the short films.

The idea of creating this festival arose from the need to promote independent cinema and new forms of audiovisual expression. In a world where time is a precious commodity, one-minute short films are an ideal option for enjoying cinema quickly and effectively.

Additionally, this format allows anyone to tell their story, regardless of their level of experience in the film world. The goal of this festival is to give a voice to those who want to tell a story but often feel limited by duration and resources. In this festival, creativity is the limit, and large budgets are not necessary to create a quality short film. We want to give an opportunity to those who want to make cinema but often don't know where to start.

That's why we invite you to participate in our 60-second short film festival. It doesn't matter if you're a film expert or if you've never made a film before. The important thing is that you have a story to tell and want to share it with the world. All stories are welcome! So don't hesitate, film your one-minute short film and send it to us.

We want to see your creativity and originality in every shot. Join us in our 60-second short film festival!
