Asia's first 1 Minute Film Festival in Hong Kong

Registration is free and videos made with any equipment that records moving images, including mobile phones, digital cameras, and computer animation, is all accepted, opening up the possibilities to amateurs and novices.

For inspiration, check out the past winners of the international competition Filminute. The clip above is of the 2010 winner of the International One-Minute Film Festival.

The concept first picked up in Brazil in 1991; the international version of the festival now reaches nearly 20 countries. It is the first time that an Asia festival is being held and it is based out of Hong Kong.

There are six categories for the Asia festival, including "RemakeHK" sponsored by Videotage which encourages contestants to remix creative work by old artists to (re)construct the hidden cultural history of Hong Kong. See the festival website's rules page to see what kind of legal points to look out for when using other people's work.
