The 48HFP is the oldest and largest timed filmmaking competition.

There are many copycats out there, including some with similar names, so be careful.

The 48 Hour Film Project is the only competition that:

• Was founded in 2001
• Takes place in 125+ Cities Around the World
• Provides a screening for all films
• Hosts [FILMAPALOOZA]—our annual screening and awards festival
• Partners with the Short Film Corner to screen our best films at the Cannes Film Festival

The Four Points Film Project, our annual online competition, is an official partner of the 48HFP. All other timed competitions (24, 48 or 72 hours) are not affiliated with the 48HFP.
