Brisbane's 48 Hour Film Project

Filmmakers from all over Brisbane will go head to head to see who can make the best short film in just 48 hours.

The winning film will go up against films from around the world at Filmapalooza 2016 for a chance at the grand prize and an opportunity to screen at the Cannes Film Festival 2016.
