My World In 60 Seconds


My World in 60 Seconds is a film project set up by the Geographic Association to create an alternative guide to our world, a guide that is created by you. The GA wants to re-present the world as people know it, so they are looking for young people to make short films that are thought provoking, insightful and engaging. 60 seconds is just long enough to guide someone through part of your world, to show what it is really like for you.
The GA want films that show people your lived geographies... They have teamed up with the BBC so that the best films can appear on BBC Big Screens across the country. A panel of judges will watch all the films and the ones that in their opinion best reflect what the GA are looking for could be shown. These films will also appear online as part of a guide to our world.

The GA are looking for films that...
  • are about something that you find fascinating
  • use geographical thinking to help the audience understand your world
  • encourage people to see the world in a new way
  • are original, creative and thoughtful
  • are well made, are sixty seconds and submitted on MiniDV before 1 May 2009
