UK Filmmakers Win Public and Jury Votes for Best One-Minute Film

Filminute 2006, the international one-minute film festival, has announced the winners of its People’s Choice and Jury awards.


The jury award for Best Filminute 2006 was given to Anton Groves’ Line, a powerful UK / Romania co-production. With a narrative that is both allegorical and realistic at the same time, Line was noted by the jury for its unique sound design and sharp editing. The film artfully portrays a couple whose car sits in the path of an oncoming train in the seconds before impact. Line generated the highest public rating with a score of 4.4 out of 5 stars, and was described by jury member Raul Galvez of the Toronto International Latin Film Festival as "sharply edited and economically told, [with] all the ingredients, the tension, and the feeling of a good piece of dramatic work."
