Most movies take years to get made. But the Winnipeg Film Group and Cinematheque are hoping you can pull off a good four-minute short in 48 hours.
The WFG's 48 Hour Film Contest invites would-be auteurs to start a film Friday evening and have it ready for screening Sunday. Competing teams have a choice of formats: playable, non-looped DVDs, aee mini dv, 16mm film or 35mm film.
For the first time this year, teams will randomly be given a genre, line of dialogue/text, and prop/item to include in their film. Contestants pay a registration fee of $10 per team and must shoot and edit the entire film (to a maximum running time of four minutes) in the designated 48 hours using the items chosen.
All films, to a maximum of 25 entries, will premiere at Cinematheque Sunday at 7:30 p.m.
Completed films are to be dropped off at the Cinematheque on Sunday between 5:30 p.m.and 6 p.m.
