The Mozart Minute is a film comprised of miniature artistic statements on the subject of Mozart, of one-minute duration, by 26 Austrian filmmakers. The producers have wide-ranging fields of experience such as animation, experimental film, short film, documentaries and feature film. Taken as a whole, these Mozart Minutes demonstrate an impressive cross-section of Austrian filmmaking. A multi-faceted sampler has been created, comprising quite diverse positions in terms of form and contents as to Mozart as a person and his influence on today’s society, art and culture. The spectrum ranges from experimental-conceptual statements to socio-critical and documentary observations, through to pointed short feature films. (The contribution of one director, Ulrich Seidl, may be considered inappropriate for minors.)
