The 48 Hour Film Project has descended once again on Durban
shores for its 2014 run. Durban’s professional filmmakers and aspiring/amateur
filmmakers will join thousands of other teams from around the world. Over 120
cities and more than 60,000 people are participating in this exciting annual
event, with Durban being one of the newer cities added on in 2013.
Launched in the USA in 2001, the 48 Hour Project gets bigger
and better with more new cities coming on board each year to host this unique
film competition in their countries.
What sets this film competition apart from other film
competitions is that it is open to everybody, not just industry professionals.
The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend of lights, camera,
action in which teams have a blast making a movie. All writing, shooting,
editing and scoring must be completed in just 48 hours.
The 48 Hour Film Project's mission is to advance filmmaking
and promote filmmakers. Through its festival/competition, the Project
encourages filmmakers and aspiring filmmakers to get out there and make a
movie.
The tight deadline of 48 hours puts the focus squarely on
the filmmakers emphasizing creativity and teamwork skills. While the time limit
places an unusual restriction on the filmmakers, it is also liberating by
putting an emphasis on "doing" instead of "talking."
Anyone who has a passion for filmmaking should seize this
opportunity, live in the moment and get involved in something completely
different to anything they have tried before. Take a bungee leap into the world
of film by making a movie and creating priceless memories with friends or
family that will last a lifetime.
From dream to screen in 48 hours. Live it and make it the
time of your life.
