One Minutes

Synopsis

One Minutes, an epic exploration into the world of cinema, is comprised of a series of films all exactly one minute in length. Each film either spoofs, satirises or homage's a different style or genre.

One Minutes; traces the origins of cinema back to the 1890’s as we spend an afternoon with Douglas Wilson and his gardner; features early cinematic story telling from the 1910's with the rags to riches tale of a Victorian chimney sweep; goes back to the 1930’s following Gangsters armed with violin cases; fires with all guns blazing in a classic spaghetti western stand off; relives gory shock-horrors in a 70’s style gore fest; refreshes the 1980’s re-recurring slasher serial killer as demonic librarian Mrs. Burrows kills the offending teens who haven't returned their library books on time; cruises with two guys in their car as they get into an argument over Ninja Turtles in a tribute to American independent films from the early 90's; travels through world cinema visiting Modern German Cinema, Danish Dogme, Bollywood, the French New Wave and beyond.

Horror, drama, thriller, comedy, war, animation, film noir - One Minutes covers as many genres and styles as the hour hand will allow.

Denzel Baidoo as Marcus, forlorn at the dinner table. Clocks

Director: Yv Shells

Year: 2026

When Arlo arrives to find Marcus has cooked someone else’s favourite meal, a single question begins to unravel an evening that refuses to stay in the present. Through a fractured timeline set entirely within one dining room, we move between Marcus and Arlo and the relationship that came before, with Una, the woman he met at a late-night bus stop and once talked about marrying. The same table, the same chairs, the same arguments about trust, honesty and what it means to truly see someone. As the timelines bleed together, it becomes clear that Marcus has never fully left the past, and that Una’s ghost sits at every table he sets. When Arlo asks what her own favourite meal is and he cannot answer, the film’s quiet devastation lands completely. CLOCKS is a portrait of a man who loves generously but sees poorly, and the women who carry the cost. It asks what we owe the person in front of us while we are still in love with someone we lost, and whether a feeling ever truly ends.
