Competition Weekend:
March 23rd to 25th
Moncton’s first ever 48 Hour Film Competition challenges local filmmakers to write, shoot, and edit a short film in just 48 hours.
“imagine it, then get it done.”
Film Studies at UNB and the New Brunswick Film Co-op invite all participants from across New Brunswick to compete. The competition begins on a Friday at 5:00pm when the teams pick up their insp
iration package of items that must be included in the film. They then have only 48 hours to deliver a finished short film. It is an intense exercise that pushes the filmmakers to their limits with often amazing results. The resulting short films (under 10-minute) can be from a wide variety of genres, including dark comedies, comedies, thrillers, and even a musicals. MORE INFO AVAILABLE ON THE APPLICATION FORM:
