The 48 Hour Film Project

Get Ready for An Amazing Challenge!

The weekend? Fall 2020

The challenge? To make a film in only 48 hours!

Filmmakers from all over the Pittsburgh area will compete to see who can make the best short film in only 48 hours. The winning film will go up against films from around the world at Filmapalooza 2021 for a chance at the grand prize and an opportunity to screen at the Cannes Film Festival 2021 Short Film Corner.

Please note: During these challenging coronavirus times, the health and safety of our filmmakers is of the utmost importance.  We will keep you posted on upcoming plans via this webpage and our Pittsburgh 48HFP e-newsletter.  If you haven't already, please sign up for the e-newsletter by clicking the "Join our Email List" button.

We love films and the people who make them, and our hope is to keep everyone safe and happy and making awesome 48-hour films as we continue!
