The 48 Hour Film Project comes to Berlin on the weekend of July 17th. Filmmakers from all over the Berlin area will compete to see who can make the best short film in only 48 hours. The winning film will go up against films from around the world.

The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours. On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete.

Then it will show at a local theater, usually in the next week. In 2008, some 30,000 filmmakers made films in 70 cities. This year, we’re even bigger, with filmmakers around the world taking the challenge to make a film in just 48 hours.
