Organized by Social and Cultural Affairs Department of the Municipality of Tehran, the “One-Minute” Quarantine International Short Film Festival will be held in collaboration of several artists and cinema people.

In modern history, humanity has never experienced shared fears in their houses. We decided to arrange an international short film festival named “One-Minute” Quarantine to examine the general creativity of society in limitation and lack of facilities, from nothing and from the least; So pick your cellphone up and record 01:00 minute video.

One-minute video could be the horrible aspect of a mother whose child is part of the medical staff or a lover Being away from him/her beloved and not being able to accompany him/her or maybe an empty table for a family worried about their parents’ jobs.

One-minute quarantine could be the music instruments being played on the balcony of houses to resist death, they seem to be saying, "We're still alive. Look." The quarantine re-enacted the feelings of homemade bread smell in our nostalgic memory. Video calls became our connecting line, and sometimes singing a song together to forget. One-minute quarantine can make us close to God

Here are different parts of the festival:

*Quarantine / life / love / religion.

* Quarantine / family / children
