The film industry is worried. Television is back with brand new series formats. Apps such as Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat are now providing us with moving images around the clock. Filmmakers have to come to terms with all these phenomena that are now influencing their work and determining the viewing habits of their audiences. The challenge is to reach an audience that is being flooded with images and stories. Should cinema adapt to the aesthetics of small screens and serial storytelling, deliberately ignore these formats, or play around with them? 15 German-speaking directors, all of whom made their cinema debut in the last ten years, are left alone in a hotel room with an (as yet, to them) unknown proposition about the future of cinema. They are left undisturbed, with two cameras and 66 seconds to respond to the proposition. 6Minutes66 references Wim Wenders’ 1982 film Chambre 666 in both form and content. For his film, Wenders invited directors to a hotel room during the Cannes film festival and asked them to respond to a theory he had previously formulated.
