M60: Montreal 60 Second Film Festival

Presents "CHANCE"

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17
Théâtre Rialto, 5723 avenue du Parc 7:30 pm / $8

Montreal's shortest film festival is back for its fourth year, presenting more than 70 one-minute movies on the theme of CHANCE.

On July 13, the only chance for Montreal's filmmakers to sign up for the city's fourth annual festival of one-minute films. M60, the Montreal 60 Second Film Festival, has no judges, no jury, no prizes and no submission fees. It accepts filmmakers on a first-come, first-served basis, welcoming amateurs and professionals alike. But there's only one way to take part - by registering at our party on July 13. Once filmmakers have registered, they will learn the (top secret!) theme of this year's festival - and have one month to complete their movies.

On Feb. 28, award-winning Canadian filmmaker John Greyson will be present in Montreal for Cinema Politica Concordia's special screening event Sex, Song and Segregation. Bringing together penguins, protest, megaphone choirs and Elton John in a politically explosive combination, the event aims to celebrate Greyson's contributions to art and activism, charting 25 years of films exploring South Africa, Palestine, race, sex, politics, and music.
