The festival was held March 15th - 20th 2010.
We would like to thank the 138 participants for their contributions.
With ”60seconds” Short Film Festival in the Copenhagen Metro we transform the city Metro stations into small film spaces, during the week of the festival, to give the city travelers new film experiences. We aim to create a new space for film artists and let them tell their stories in the city underground. A place where experienced and non-experienced artists have a chance to show their work to a big audience.
