The “48 hours films project” invites young film makers around the world to realize a full and finalized short film.

Founded in 2001 in Washington, DC, the 48 Hour Film Project, Inc.is dedicated to the advancement of filmmaking and the encouragement of would-be filmmakers to make movies. Teams have just two days to make a four-to-seven minute film. All creative work ­ writing, shooting, editing, sound design, music composition and graphics ­ must occur within the competition period. The tight deadline puts the focus squarely on filmmaking ­ driving the creative process and teamwork skills
