The 48 Hour Film Project

 

DIGITAL FILM ACADEMY IS A SPONSOR OF THE 48 HOUR FILM PROJECT - NEW YORK

Digital Film Academy is proud to support and be a sponsor of The 48-Hour Film Project - New York! Filmmakers throughout the tri-state area will take part in the 48 Hour Film Project during the weekend of May 29th!

In line with the Digital Film Academy philosophy of developing skills through hands-on training, the 48 Hour Film Project encourages filmmakers and would-be filmmakers to get out there and make movies. The deadline of 48 hours puts the focus squarely on the filmmakers - emphasizing creativity and teamwork skills.

The 48 Hour Film Project began in 2001 and eight years later, more than 150 competitions have taken place around the world. Currently, the world’s largest timed filmmaking competition, The 48-Hour Film Project's ninth annual tour will expand to nearly 80 cities, including the first-ever local contests in Beijing, Lisbon, Prague, and Savannah.
The 2009 Tour will challenge a record 35,000 people worldwide to complete the entire filmmaking process - from writing and casting to shooting and editing - in 48 hours.

Films will be screened in each city just days after the competition with prizes awarded to the top filmmakers. Organizers announced that 14 of the 2009 tour’s best films will be screened at the Cannes International Film Festival’s Short Film Corner in 2010, as well as appear on a nationally distributed DVD.
