M60 - Montreal 60 Second Film Festival

Making a 60 second film sounds like fun, doesn't it?

The first 120 films registered on July 10 will be screened.

If you would like to submit a film to M60, you must first register your film at our Registration Party on July 10.

Completed films must be submitted by Monday, August 10, 2009.

M60 is open to everyone, regardless of age, filmmaking experience, language or background. Our objective is to encourage everyone, especially those who have never made a film, to make a film.
Films may be of any genre (within the limits of decency!).
Films may be in any language.
Films will be shown "as is".

Films must be 60 seconds long, no more, no less.
Films must be made between July 10 and August 10.
Films must be of sufficient sound quality - make sure any dialogue is as loud and clear as possible.
Films should be submitted in the Quicktime movie format (.mov or .dv), or on MiniDV tape, at a minimum resolution of 640x480 and a maximum resolution of 1440x1080. File-size may not exceed 500 megabytes. [for more information please see the FAQ].
We absolutely do not accept Windows Media (.wmv and .asf) formats.
Films must not include on-screen credits (information on the cast/director/etc).
However it is okay to include the title of your film, if you wish.
Do not use other people's (ie, copyrighted) music or film clips unless you have the permission of the artists.

Please complete the FILM CREDITS FORM and submit your film and credits form either:
- By snail-mail (on CD, DVD, MiniDV tape or USB key) to M60, 4619 Esplanade, Montreal Quebec, H2T 2Y6; or
- Online, by using our electronic submission form.
Hard copies (discs, tapes) will not be returned, and by submitting your film you are also authorising it for screening & promotional use by M60.
If M60 receives a corrupted or incomplete file from you, we will do what we can to contact you and obtain a working version. If we can't, we obviously won't be able to screen your film.
If submitting your film on DVD, only unauthored DVDs will be accepted. If you do not know what this means, please see the FAQ.
Please submit original work and do not submit films that infringe any laws, including copyright.
Please stick to our theme for 2009, DECEPTION.
Please only begin creating your film after July 10, and you must submit your film before August 10.
