One Minute Racist

About This Movie

So, 'One Minute Racist' by Caveh Zahedi is quite a curious piece. It’s animated, which adds this layer of surrealism to an otherwise serious topic. The pacing is a bit uneven—sometimes it lingers on moments that hit hard, while other times it rushes through the narrative. The atmosphere is this strange mix of lighthearted animation and the weighty subject of internalized racism. What’s distinctive here is how it dives into that one moment of lapse, almost like a personal confession. The animation style feels raw, which I think helps in conveying the honesty of Zahedi's premise. It really gets you thinking about those fleeting thoughts we all might brush aside but that truly shape our perceptions.
