48 Hour Film Project 2014
Get down to ACMI to witness the filmmaking equivalent of a 100-metre dash.
Overview
Making a movie, even a short one, is a difficult and time-consuming process. You've got to come up with a concept, write a screenplay, find a producer, scout locations, rent equipment and hire a cast. Then you shoot it, score it, edit it, re-edit it, tweak the sound and produce the special effects. Sounds like a lot of hassle, right? Now imagine doing it all in the span of a single weekend.
The filmmaking equivalent of a 100-metre dash, the idea behind the 48 Hour Film Project is simple. On the first Friday in September, more than 50 teams from around Victoria are given a prop, a character and five words of dialogue. Two days later, they submit a finished film.
This year's entrants will screen at ACMI in Federation Square, over five consecutive evenings beginning Monday, September 22 (plus the awards night on Friday, October 3). So get off the couch and celebrate local filmmaking. You'll be hard-pressed to see anything this spontaneous all year.
