The 2010 Tour

After a tremendous start in over 40 cities, the 48HFP 2010 Tour keeps on truckin'—soon, it will be bringing its high-flying, adrenaline-fueled competition to a city near you!

With almost 90 cities on the schedule, 2010 promises to be our biggest year yet. And for the first time ever, with the addition of Casablanca, Johannesburg, and Lima, the 48HFP is going to take place on six continents!

We look forward to seeing your film!

National Film Challenge

The National Film Challenge, the 48 Hour Film Project's sister competition, is coming on October 22nd through 25th!

Regardless of where you live, this is your opportunity to write, shoot, and edit a short film in three days. Just like in the 48 Hour Film Project, you receive a character, prop, line of dialogue, and a genre at 7pm local time, October 22nd. Then you mail the film in on October 25th.

The winning films will screen with the 48HFP City Winners at the next Filmapalooza at the Miami International Film Festival. Also, there are cash prizes for the winning films!

Registration opens on September 1st.

Check out the NFC website for more details.

Every second counts! Even when you have a whopping 72 hours to make a film.

Upcoming Cities and Dates

What We're About

The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours.

On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete.

Then it will show at a local theater, usually in the next week.

2010 promises to be our biggest year ever. We have started registration in our first African city&mdashJohannesburg! Last year, nearly 40,000 filmmakers made 3,000 films in 76 cities around the world in just 48 hours.
