The One-Minute Memoir

Directed by Joan C. Gratz, Chris Hinton, Paul Driessen, Dennis Tupicoff, Janet Perlman, Theodore Ushev, Marv Newland, Jim Blashfield, Bill Plympton, Diane Obomsawin and Chel White

When Academy Award®–winning animator and painter Joan Gratz asked eleven filmmakers if they would contribute to an omnibus film, she wasn’t sure what to expect—after prompting them to make a “one-minute memoir,” she let them figure out the rest. The One-Minute Memoir is the exuberant result: eleven stories ranging from the heartfelt to the absurd, all reflective of each director’s personal style.
