The One Take Film Festival is an international festival
of films shot in one take, that is films shot without
interruption, from the moment of turning the camera
on to the moment of turning the camera off. The
One Take Film Festival eliminates a seemingly indispensable
part of a film - namely, editing - and thus prohibits
cut, dissolve, fade in/out and all other types of
transitions. In that way, the One Take Film Festival
makes room for a more stimulating concept of film
and more exciting film-making.
The One Take Film Festival is the only one of
its kind in the world, and it takes place in Zagreb.
This year's festival will be the third.
The One Take Film Festival includes films of
almost every genre in it's programme (documentary,
fiction, experimental, music video and commercial).
The running time of the films is not limited.
One Take Film Festival primarily emphasises the
aesthetic act of film-making, and the one take
is considered only a framework for ideas, emotions,
stories… for we shouldn't forget that, some years
ago, workers had left the Lumiere factory in "one
take" also. Therefore, one should not be fascinated
with the fact.
The One Take Film Festival, along with the official
competition, offers numerous other events - premieres,
lectures, exhibitions, concerts and of course, good
time for everyone.
The One Take Film Festival will, in it's three-day
programme, convince you of the possibility of excluding
the classic concept of film editing in favour of capturing
a part of reality in its continuity.
