Filminute 2011 fast starters


RANK BY VOLUME OF TRAFFIC PER COUNTRY
FOR THE FIRST 5 DAYS OF FILMINUTE 2011
  • 1. USA  2. South Africa  3. Spain  4. Netherlands  5. Australia
  • 6. Colombia  7. United Kingdom  8. Canada  9. Romania  10. Pakistan
A lot will change as momentum builds around different films. Also, some countries just love one minute films to the point where we've seen countries with no films on the shortlist drive volume around a favourite film.

For instance, here are the countries with populations spending the MOST time on the festival site. Uganda tops the list just shy of 18 minutes average time on the site, and tapering down to the Philippines at 10 minutes average.
  • 1. Uganda  2. Greece  3. France  4. Guatemala  5. Bangladesh 
  • 6. Sri Lanka  7. Macedonia  8. Italy  9. India  10. Philippines
This certainly might change the outcome and make the race even more interesting. Between the quality of the competing films, and the national and international following generated by each film, the outcome of the People's Choice Award is almost impossible to predict.

If you care to make a prediction of the outcome, we would welcome your post on that subject on our page at Facebook.com/filminute
