Cat-tv Bennington and GNAT-TV are partnering to present the Shires One-Minute Film Festival, and we’re inviting filmmakers, students, first-time creators, and anyone with a story to tell to make an original film that’s 60 seconds or less.

That’s it. One minute.

Funny, heartfelt, weird, experimental, polished, messy, animated, or impossible to categorize - we want all of it.

No prior experience is needed, and no fancy equipment is required. You can film on your phone, use your own camera, or borrow equipment through CAT-TV or GNAT-TV.

Submission deadline: September 18

Selected films will be screened publicly at the Bennington Theater on October 17 as part of a community celebration of local filmmaking and creative experimentation.

Details and submission form:
https://gnat-tv.org/film-fest/

If you have questions or need help accessing equipment, reach out to CAT-TV or GNAT-TV. Whether you’ve made dozens of films or none at all, we’d love to see what you create.
