Why a 48 HR Film Competition?
In our ever-growing, competitive Film industry full of talented creatives globally, desperately seeking funding to get their films produced or continuous stories of uncompleted projects it is so important that we keep creating.
Keep taking risks. Keep challenging ourselves.
By presenting a platform and format like the 48hr film concept it forces us to pull all our resources together for one weekend only and produce a high level work with a quick deadline. No months and months sitting on a project in the edit or reshoots. No excuses, you must submit a film in the time limit, or the team gets disqualified! It also gives us a unique opportunity to hone our skills. After all if you can master the 48-hour schedule then it puts you in good stead for keeping to time and budget on much larger projects.
Many winning films made under a 48-hour film concept have gone on to win awards at other film festivals worldwide and we are excited to be able to offer filmmakers internationally the opportunity to create such work as part of EMIFF 2022.
