One Minute on Earth
One minute on Earth is a competition-workshop coordinated with Uruguayan universities and schools that run cinema and communication courses.
More than 100 years ago the Lumière brothers used their camera to film a series of ordinary events, and this gave rise to a new way of perceiving reality. These early films included A train arriving at a station, Workers leaving a factory, The waterer getting wet, and Breakfast with the baby. One minute on earth is a re-creation of that pioneering effort. It involves a look at today’s reality using a similar technique to that historic event: a single shot from a fixed point lasting one minute.

Each university presented its final product from the workshop, and the 42 single minutes taking part were shown on Saturday July 14 in the auditorium of the Torre de las Telecomunicaciones de Antel (Guatemala 1075, corner with Paraguay).
