THE FESTIVAL

Cineuropa Shorts is part of Cineuropa, the first European portal dedicated to cinema and audiovisual in 4 languages. This year they chose their 5 favourite European films and encouraged audiences to send in their favourite choice as part of the "5 Minute Challenge." The 5 films they chose were: A2042, JUST KIDS, LOVE AT FIRST LIGHT, RABBIT GIRL, and VOLTIGE

In the end, the Cineuropa audience voted overwhelmingly for Caroline Grace-Cassidy's LOVE AT FIRST LIGHT (Ireland), a comedic ode to the morning after. European film fans like their comedy! We encourage you to watch the film again, and to read the short, fun interview Cineuropa Shorts did with the director here.

FILMINUTE is the international one-minute film festival that challenges filmmakers, writers, animators, artists,designers, and creative producers to develop and submit the world's best one-minute films.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT ONE-MINUTE FILM? The best one-minute films resonate beyond one minute and affect audiences the same way any great film does. The challenge, of course, is to do it all in 60 seconds - no more, no less.
