About Us

The Montreal 60 Second Film Festival (M60) is a not-for-profit film festival that celebrates 60 second movies – and all those who gather the gumption to make them.

There is no entry fee and filmmakers will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, registering at our launch party in mid July.

The films, each sixty seconds long, will be screened twice, on September 16 and 17 2011 at the Rialto Theatre (5723 ave du Parc). These films will each have been created by a different filmmaker or filmmaking team. The festival is open to all, regardless of filmmaking experience, and in fact we hope to attract amateurs and pros alike.

We seek a wide variety of films, made by young and old, action heroes and animators, liars and documentarians – anyone with the will to bring their experiments to the screen.

M60 was founded in 2008. It is organised by Toby Harper, Doug Hollingworth, Lily Lanken, Sylvan Lanken, Raphaëlle Aubin and Sean Michaels. Graphic and web design by Neale McDavitt-Van Fleet. French translation by Valerie Habra.
