One Minute's Video 2025: tenderness
Amidst the prevailing policies of suspicion, we hereby propose the radical act of tenderness: to trust in sorority, to acknowledge our interdependence, to permit others to penetrate our innermost being, to that which is so intimate to our being that we seldom express it. Manifesting tenderness in bodies that are receptive to external touch, bodies that demonstrate adaptability and susceptibility. Images of tenderness as attentive gazes, compassion, vulnerability, and transparency. This call proposes to explore a tenderness that inhabits the intimate as well as the public, the collective, in the shared gesture.
The Open Call
One Minute’s video is an invitation to take the cameras, to film and to generate your own senses about a particular subject. It is an open call to create with your friends, alone or in virtuality. The video of the minute embraces the philosophy DIY/DIWT, free and easy creation, the domestic, the public, the collective … and the pleasure.
The videos received during the open call become a collective and kaleidoscopic piece that brings together different experiences around a starting idea. Every year we renew the invitation to film with a new thematic proposal.
