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.
Artistic
- 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".
Technical
- 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.
Fine print
- 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.
