description

Presented in partnership with NUTV, join us for the completed shorts showcase of this year's 48-Hour Movie Making Challenge.

All registered teams were provided randomly selected elements – genre, prop and line of dialogue – to include in their film. The teams were given just 48 hours to complete a two to five-minute short film, which will be screened for the first time, with an audience on the big screen!

The in competition shorts, which meet all the rules of the challenge, will be juried live at the screening, followed by an awards ceremony. The films will be given jury and audience awards based on how well teams integrated the given elements, and the overall quality of film produced, including story, structure, entertainment factor. One of the most celebrated, fun and must-attend events at CUFF!

There will be a 15-minute intermission part-way through the program, and 20-minutes following the films, there will be audience voting & awards.
