"What's the best thing you could do for yourself in 59 seconds? You could eat a taquito, take a really long pee, put on your socks and shoes-or you could see a creative and thought-provoking international film. The ideal film festival for those with short attention spans..." (San Diego CityBEAT (December 14, 2005))

59 Seconds Video Festival
Friday August 4th 7:30 PM at A.M.180 Utopia

(Belehradska 45, Praha 2)

Launched by Project 59 last spring in Tribeca, the 59 Seconds Festival presents a wide ranging collection of 59 videos and animations, 59 seconds each by artists from around the world that were selected through three international open calls.

59 Seconds Festival is a play off as well as a metaphor for the short video format. It also gives an opportunity to introduce 59 international artists and a wide range of video works - mini documentary, political satire, metaphorical, narrative, experimental, edgy, controversial, including a unique collection of videos that integrate number 59. 59 Seconds Festival is a video storm of a variety of techniques, ideas and visions. "Maximum entertainment in minimum time" - San Francisco Bay Guardian 12/7/05.

59 Seconds Festival is sampling an emerging contemporary international video art scene. Audience feedback is an important part of the process of developing of the final collection. The Festival has had US screenings in New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Durham, Rockport, Portland and Pittsburgh . It has been presented internationally at Florence, Szczecin, Bishkek, Berlin, Vienna, Trnava and Bratislava .

A collection of selected 59 videos, 59 seconds each by 59 international artists, shown 59 times around the globe is an ultimate goal of 59 Seconds Festival.
