One Minute Film Festival Asia Announcement

We have an announcement to share with everyone on the One Minute Film Festival Asia that we were partnered with.   We regret to announce  that the organizers have decided to close the competition and combine it with the International One Minute Film Festival.  

They have released this statement to the people who have already contributed films:

Dear 1 Minute Film Festival (Asia) entrant,

On behalf of 1 Minute Film Festival (Asia), I would like to thank you for

submission.  Your work means a lot to those involved with the festival and

to the film community at large. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed to inform

inform you that we will no longer be able to select winners as earlier

publicized. The reason is that the submissions did not match the original

expectations of the sponsors for the films. We apologize for the

inconvenience, but will forward your films to the International One Minute

Film Festival for entrance in the Free Subject category, (for which the

deadline is 28 Feb.) so that you are still in the running to win a prize.

The prize is HK$2,000. 

Again, thank you for your submission and for your understanding.   

Sincerely,

Henry OhThe Free Subject category's deadline is Feb 28th and the films already submitted can be seen here -

We would also like to let everyone know that the Clean Air Network will still be awarding a separate prize for the film in their category.  If you have a film to contribute for their 'Why I Love Air Pollution'  film category,  please go ahead and contribute it at -

We apologize for any inconvenience!  We hope to revisit this subject in the future by organizing our own alivenotdead.com short film competition in the future.
