The world of cinema appeared back in 1895. The first films that were shot and presented to the public were short. Today, many directors and producers love to produce films of this type. But which movie is the shortest in the world? The answer to this question can be found in this article.
One second movie
In 2010, in the Netherlands, a director named Anton Corbein shot a short film called The Shortest Film. The duration of this film is only one second. The action of the picture takes place against the background of the mill. She is one of the attractions of the Netherlands. The main character of this work is Karis van Houten. The plot of the film is quite simple: the actress stands on the background of the mill, then the hand of the director Anton Corbane appears, and the heroine bites his finger. Due to its duration, this work is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest film in the world. The Dutch director Anton Corbane continues to shoot film projects, as well as clips.
First movie short
The first short film is the movie “Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station”, shot by French directors, the Lumiere brothers. This is not only the first short film, but also the first film that was shot in the world. The duration of work was 49 seconds. It showed how people meet the train. It was a silent black and white film, but it laid the foundation for the cinema. In 1896, the first screening of films for the public took place. The audience was so shocked by what they saw that they were afraid that the train on the screen could knock them down.
The most famous short films
Currently, short films are very popular with viewers. In these films, which last no more than an hour, the creators try to contain the main idea in order to convey it to people. One of the most popular films of this kind is the short film project “What is this?”. It tells about an aged father and a son who has already become quite an adult. The author of this story wanted to show that in spite of everything, the parents will love their child and really want to be reciprocated. Another famous work was the film "Country of Toys." The little boy and his whole family are sent to a concentration camp because they are Jews. In order not to ruin the child’s childhood and not to cause injury for life, his mother says that they are sent to the country of toys.
