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.
