In conjunction with the Darklight Film Festival, the week also includes a Special FX workshop on June 25th, 2006, which focuses on blue screen, props, lights and digital effects. Attendees will leave with a basic knowledge of special effects, which they can incorporate into their one minute films. Click here for more information on the Special FX workshop.

The winners are announced during the annual international One Minutes Festival of the Sandberg Institute which takes place every November.

One Minutes Jr Network

The One Minutes Jr network (www.theoneminutesjr.org) is a platform for creative young people in Europe and Central Europe who want to make themselves heard.

Every year the European Cultural Foundation, Unicef and the One Minutes Foundation organise workshops all over Europe and Central Asia to give young people a chance to create their own one minute films. Young people from different cultural backgrounds, ages and nationalities come together for the workshops to create a unique insight into the world they live in.

Not only do the workshops provide a great learning ground for aspiring film makers, it is also a great meeting place. Participants work closely and intensively together, forming unique relationships which can prove to be long lasting and fulfilling.
