One Minutes are short films of exactly sixty seconds that are collected and published by the Dutch foundation The One Minutes.
The videos come from all over the world and are often made at workshops that give The One Minutes foundation, sometimes commissioned by Unicef. In other cases, the videos are sent by the creators. The movies are screened at film festivals, exhibitions, on television and on the internet. The movies can be seen on Holland Doc and SALTO.
The One Minutes began in 1998 as an experiment and became an international network with an archive of 10,000 videos from 120 countries 15 years later. Each year it organizes an international video competition. The foundation is affiliated with the Sandberg Institute and is manned by students and former students.
In 2002, The One Minutes founded the European Cultural Foundation and UNICEF The One Minutes Jr. to give annual and weekly weekends to disadvantaged and marginalized children from 12 years to make one-minute movies and make their voice heard.
Since 2014, monthly One Minute Minutes are published. Every month an artist is asked to compile a series of guest curators. The first of these new series was a contemporary remake of John Berger's 1971 documentary Ways of Seeing. Twenty museums and cultural institutes around the world are subscribers to The One Minutes Series and show the series in their organization. Externe link
