60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero
60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero is a 2011 anthology film, shown for a one-time-only event that took place in the Port of Tallinn, Estonia on 22 December 2011. The film is a collection of roughly one-minute-long short films created by 51 filmmakers from around the world on the theme of the death of cinema. At the end of the film's only screening, the projector was set on fire and the filmstrip was destroyed.
The project, developed as an ode to 35mm film and dedicated to preserving the freedom of thought in cinema, was conceived by Veiko Õunpuu with Taavi Eelmaa and funded by the 2011 European Capital of Culture Tallinn, the Estonian Ministry of Culture and the EU-Japan Fest Committee. Composer Ülo Krigul provided the music for the film, performed live during the screening with Mart Taniel, Lauri-Dag Tuur, and Maria Juur.
