Over the 48 hours there were many on and off-screen dramas for the teams, with only 29 teams making it back to the finish line with films completed in 48 hours! Well done to our 29 filmmaking teams, you're made of tough stuff! Get ready for our Screenings & Awards Nights and stay tuned for ticket booking information - and get some sleep this weekend!

BRISBANE 2008 COMPETITION SET TO LAUNCH 5th YEAR- WITH MELBOURNE & SYDNEY JOINING FOR THE 1st TIME!

The worlds biggest time-based filmmaking competition is officially going National this year with 48 Hour Film Project competitions in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in October. The winners of the Best Overall Film in each city will be eligible to enter the World Best of 48HFP Competition in the USA in 2009. Stay tuned!

WINNER OF 2007 48 HOUR FILM PROJECT SET FOR CANNES! 31.03.2008

The winner of the 2007 Brisbane 48 Hour Film Project Best Overall Film has been accepted into the prestigious Cannes International Film Festival, to screen in the Short Film Corner on Tuesday May 20th 2008.

The film, entitled ‘Myles West’, was made for the 2007 competition and took out a swag of awards including Best Overall Film, Best Male Actor (Tim Dashwood) and Best Editing (Courtney O’Brien-Brown), as well as Best Original Script and Best Director for writer/director Bryn Chainey. Chainey was invited to attend the World Best of 48 Hour Film Project Competition in the US earlier this year as a part of the Cinequest Film Festival, San Jose, California. While not taking a major award, the film was selected to feature on the Top-15 DVD and received a Best Editing nomination.

Chainey recently announced that ‘Myles West’ is now set to take the prestigious Cannes International Film Festival by storm.

This achievement tops the list of follow-on successes from Brisbane 48 Hour Film Project competition winners, with 2006 / 2007 Best Overall Film Runner-up director Daley Pearson producing and directing an independent feature film, ‘$quid’ in Brisbane in 2007, and the 2006 Best Overall Film winner Michael Craft about to begin his feature film directorial debut ‘Storage’.

The 48 Hour Film Project, an international time-based filmmaking competition, has been running since 2001 in Washington DC, USA, and is now held in over 50 cities all around the world. The Brisbane competition has been running since 2004 and is the only Australian leg of the competition, offering filmmakers a chance to connect to an amazing international network.

Films must be made within 48 hours, must feature the competition’s Special Ingredients (a prop, character and line of dialogue) and must fit to a specific genre (horror, sci-fi, romance etc). All of these elements are announced right before the official competition launch, making the competition an even playing field for all filmmakers. All films made for the competition are then judged and screened before sell-out audiences. Prizes include sponsored awards in technical categories, and for the Best Overall Film winners, the chance to compete in the international finals in the US – an opportunity that has successfully proven to open doors for emerging filmmakers in the Brisbane community.

The Brisbane 48 Hour Film Project 2007 was a massive success - our biggest year yet! With over 40 registered teams a massive crowd gathered at the Queensland Short Film Festival venue on Friday 19th October to Launch this year's competition. After 48 long hours of filmmaking 34 completed short films were returned. Now fingernails are being bitten in the lead-up to the Screenings Awards nights on November 8th & 9th.

MEET & GREET 2007 PRESS RELEASE SEPT 07

The Brisbane 48 Hour Film Project Annual Meet & Greet was held last Friday at Brisbane’s most funky audio/visual venue, The 5th Corner in Woolloongabba. Over 100 filmmakers, writers, directors, artists, cinematographers, actors and musicians networked the night away, enjoying a backdrop of screenings of top Brisbane 48 Hour Film Project films from 2004 to 2006 plus local filmmakers work, and smoothe beats by DJ Johnny Human. Many a business card exchanged hands as did a plentiful supply of free drinks and good cheer! Filmmaker Dorian Ribeiro premiered her short film Widow’s Cure for cast and crew in the venue’s uber-cool private cinema, and filmmaking teams eagerly lapped-up 48 Hour Film Project competition information. We were very pleased to see many new faces joining us this year and look forward to seeing everyone again at the Competition Launch!
