The films might be fleeting but their passion's not. The 25 personal narratives are told in an inexorable amount of ways -- a real splice of life. And, the Filminute festival gives the filmmakers their opportunity to provoke political consciousness, loss, a brief stab of jealousy, great humour, and vulnerable imagery that leave an indelible mark.

'Lovefield' by Mathieu Ratthe, CANADA

'Naked Truth' by Robert Sveda, SLOVAKIA

'Rahim Murge Pe Mat Ro' by Devashish Makhija, Rajat Nagpal, INDIA

'The Murder' by Cristian Smeu, ROMANIA

From EYEWEEKLY.com, readers are invited to go to filminute.com to vote for their favourite film among the 25 shortlisted from filmmakers all over the world. EYE WEEKLY's Chandler is impressed with the caliber of the collection of this year's 25 shortlisted films, "The films might be fleeting but their passion's not. The 25 personal narratives are told in an inexorable amount of ways -- a real splice of life. And, the Filminute festival gives the filmmakers their opportunity to provoke political consciousness, loss, a brief stab of jealousy, great humour, and vulnerable imagery that leave an indelible mark."
