About 60Seconds

The film festival 60Seconds is an open competition for all movie directors and movie enthusiasts in Denmark and abroad.

The director has 60 seconds to make an impression on the travelers in the Metro.

A professional film jury will select the ten best films that will be shown in the Metro during the festival. The same jury will choose the winner of the Jury Award. The jury will also select 20 films to enter the Audience award competition.

The first 60seconds festival was organized first in 2006 by Space Creation, as a non profit arts and business project. The festival has been running every year since 2009 by a board, as an independent international film festival. In 2012 we will celebrate the festival 5th Year Anniversary in collaboration with the Danish Institute for Human Rights 25 Year Anniversary. .
