🗓️ Registration for the annual Toronto 48 Hour Film Project — our main event — opens July 1!
Filmmaking Weekend: October 16–18, 2026

👏 Huge congratulations to the 68 fearless teams who made a film in just 48 hours during our May 1–3 Horror/Sci-Fi filmmaking weekend. We can’t wait to see your work light up the Revue Cinema big screen!

🎟️ Tickets are now on sale for the 2026 Toronto 48HFP Horror/Sci-Fi Premiere Screenings! 👻🚀
Screenings run May 23–28, 2026 at the Revue Cinema. Visit https://www.48hourfilm.com/toronto/horror_scifi for the Eventbrite ticket links.

Come celebrate our incredible filmmaking community and experience the eerie, the otherworldly, and the wildly unexpected on the big screen. Everyone is welcome! Please note: Films are not rated and may not be suitable for children.

Each screening features 13–15 short films and runs approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes — a fast-paced, wildly entertaining night at the movies. 🍿✨

These screenings are our favourite part of the 48: packed with surprises, big-screen energy, and a theatre buzzing with filmmakers, cast, crew, friends, family, and film lovers.

🏆 Plus, audience members get to vote for their favourite films! The top film from each screening will win an Audience Favourite Award and advance to the Best Of Screening & Awards Ceremony.
