Festival Start: Festival Ende:
The One Location Story ceremony and online screening is an initiative of Bubble Pictures Studio, dedicated to celebrating storytelling born within the confines of a single space. We honor short and feature films that thrive within limitations, exploring the psychological, physical, and emotional bubbles we live in.
Our mission is to highlight the creative power of restriction. Through one-location filmmaking, we explore intimacy, tension, and connection, where a single setting becomes the entire world.
