Copenhagen(DK) taking place in parallel, to screen a selection of the 1
sec movies mixed with 1 minute movies in Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Køge
and Helsingør during the festival week.

In addition, all 1 second movies will be included in the next Leap

lasting one second.

Theme for the 2019 festival: HUMAN versus NATURE Key words / concepts:
#Natural capital, #environment, #we are nature, #global goals, #climate
change, global warming, #biodiversity.

One-Off invites all artists and video creators to submit their 1 second
videos that explore human interaction with nature and our environment.
Is our species detached completely from being part of nature? Are we
becoming a lethal threat to the natural environment as the dominant
species? What is the value of the Natural Capital?

About One-Off Moving Image festival

One-Off Moving Image Festival is organized by Noemata
(http://noemata.net), collaborating with 60Seconds Festival for call,
theme, movies and screenings, and both festivals run in parallel
February 18-24 (Monday-Sunday) 2019. We'll be sharing the works so the
screenings will be a mix of 1 minute and 1 second movies. One-Off will
focus on virtual screenings using QR-codes, local wifi-hotspots for
people to engage with their smart devices, while 60Secs will make
physical screenings using projectors. We both use public space as
plattform for the screenings.

One-Off is an offspring of the Leap Second Festival, an x-ennale lasting
one second (three former editions 2012, 2015, 2016/2017). Since the leap
seconds are inserted into clock-time irregularly we wanted in addition
to have a yearly festival of one second movies, also to be able to run
in parallel with 60Secs festival. 60Secs on their side has more than ten
years of experience in organizing screenings of short movies in public
(streets, walls, metro).

In autumn 2017 Leap Second Festival and 60Secs collaborated on six
screenings in europe consisting of movies from both, with the practise
of mixing short and ultra-short movies. More info
http://noemata.net/5455). This in turn lead up to the establishment of
the One-Off festival.
