About the 48HFP Chi siamo e cosa facciamo
Grazie 48 Hour Film Project tutte le
squadre iscritte hanno la possibilità di cimentarsi nella realizzazione di un
film in sole 48 ore – dalla sceneggiatura alle riprese fino al montaggio. Un weekend
intenso e adrenalinico che parte il venerdì sera con l’estrazione di un genere
da parte delle squadre, nonché la comunicazione di un personaggio, un oggetto e
una linea di dialogo che dovranno essere inseriti in tutti i film. I lavori ultimati
la domenica sera dovranno essere consegnati prima che termini l’Official Time
Period. Infine, tutti film saranno
proiettati a un pubblico di esperti, filmmaker e non solo: amici e parenti sono
tutti invitati!
Il 48HFP è la gara di filmmaking più nota e
longeva del mondo oltre ad essere quella con il maggior numero di partecipanti.
Alla base del successo del 48HFP vi sono creatività e divertimento: da anni il 48HFP
aiuta i talenti ad emergere e a trovare sinergie con altri creativi. Si tratta di legami solidi e duraturi, che
vanno ben oltre alle semplici riprese – al 48HFP partecipano amici,
collaboratori, colleghi e addirittura partner e compagni!
Local & International!! Around the World
The 48HFP takes local filmmaking international! We are in 130 cities around the world, on 6 continents. What does this mean to the participants? If you win your city, you have entered the international arena. Filmmakers from each winning city are invited to screen their films at Filmapalooza – our end of year event, and the filmmakers meet (and party) at this filmmaking Olympic village as they compete for the international title of Best Film.
Città WeekendsOur History How it all got started
In 2001, way back in the days even before flash drives and 4K video, Mark Ruppert and Liz Langston were making short films. Mark came up with a crazy idea – to make a film in 48 hours! They tried it and found that it was not only possible – it was exhilarating. The big question back then was... Would films made in only 48 hours even be watchable? The answer was a resounding yes.
Now, more than 50,000 films later, the 48 Hour Film Project has become a rite of passage for filmmakers around the world.
- More than 1,400 projects have taken place around the world!
- More than 50,000 short films made!
- More than 600,000 filmmakers have taken part!
- We've had 14 special screenings at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner!
- More than $1,000,000 USD in cash and prizes awarded to filmmakers!
- And 18 Filmapaloozas to date!
Our Mission Our goals & what we strive to do
The 48 Hour Film Project's mission is to advance filmmaking and promote filmmakers. Through its festival/competition, the Project encourages filmmakers and would-be filmmakers to get out there and make movies.
The tight deadline of 48 hours puts the focus squarely on the filmmakers—emphasizing creativity and teamwork. While the time limit places an unusual restriction on the filmmakers, it is also liberating by putting an emphasis on doing instead of talking.
Current Tour
This year, in spite of the global pandemic, the 48HFP held more than 75 filmmaking events around the world with more than 2,500 teams taking part.
Teams and Filmmakers
We've had 50,000+ teams in the Project over the years, and at 13 people per team, that translates to more than 650,000 people who have answered the call to come on out and make a movie!
Around the World
The Project has truly spread to the four corners of the globe. Filmmakers from Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas will compete to see who can make the best short film in a weekend.
One Big Experiment
The 48HFP got its start in Washington, DC as a filmmaking experiment between friends back in 2001. Who knew back then that it would grow to become a global phenomenon?!?
First Line of Dialogue
In the very first project ever, the required line was: I made you who you are, and I can just as easily break you.
Smallest Team
Our smallest team has consisted of one person who sets up the camera then runs around to be on-camera.
Our Largest Team
Our largest team to date was a team from Albuquerque with 116 people and 30 horses!
