Filminute 2008 call for entries

The entry deadline for international one-minute film festival Filminute 2008, which will run throughout the month of September, is 20 August 2008. The festival looks set to attract the largest audience yet as screenings have expanded to include television, mobile and other platforms.

Filmmakers, writers, animators, artists, designers, and creative producers are being challenged to develop and submit the world's best one-minute films.

The jury for this year's Filminute includes Paul Haggis (Oscar-winning screenwriter/director of Crash & Million Dollar Baby) and David Kennedy (founding partner of advertising agency Wieden & Kennedy, creators of seminal ad campaigns like Nike's 'just do it').

The 2007 festival attracted audiences from more than 90 countries who watched the shortlisted films more than two million times.
