WHAT MAKES A GREAT ONE-MINUTE FILM? The best one-minute films will "resonate" beyond one minute. These are films that we expect to affect viewers in the same way any great film would. The challenge, of course, is to do it all in 60 seconds, no more, no less. Story, character development, sound design, setting, dialogue, and editing... What makes a great one-minute film?

INTERVIEW
Palme D'or Winner Cristian Mungiu
In May of 2007, Romanian director Cristian Mungiu's 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days won the prestigious Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The story of two university students who try to arrange an illegal abortion in the dying days of Ceausescu's Romania, has gone on to win numerous other prizes around the world (including FIPRESCI film of the year) as well as rave reviews from critics including Variety magazine's Jay Weissberg who praised it as "pitch perfect and brilliantly acted...a stunning achievement."
Like many feature filmmakers, Mungiu also makes short films and commercials and is a fan of Filminute. He recently agreed to answer some of our favourite questions.
