THE RIFC BRINGS THE 48 HOUR FILM PROJECT BACK TO PROVIDENCE
The annual event is gearing up again, filmmakers!
This year, the dates for the event are July 18th – 20th, with screenings
the following week. Screenings will be at the Columbus Theater, and the
“Best of” screening will be the closing event of the prestigious RI
International Film Festival, August 10th.
Registration opens in just a few days – May 27th. This year, it’s $135 per
team!
On June 20th, the price will leap with precipitous enthusiasm to $155 per
team – also, the project is first-come, first-served. This year’s Boston
event filled completely a few days after opening. So get your team in
early!
“How do I sign up?” you ask. Well, starting on Tuesday, you can go to
www.48hourfilm.com. Hit enter now – or choose 2008 Tour / Providence.Online registration is the only way to sign up – and remember, it’s notactive until the 27th.
Haven’t heard of it? The 48 Hour Film Project brings filmmaking teams
together to make a movie from scratch — teams write, shoot, edit and score
— all in just 48 hours. This year the 48HFP will visit over 70 cities
around the world.
Local filmmakers will compete to see who can make the best short film using
the assigned prop, line and character – and in a genre pulled from a hat.
One winning film will go up against films from around the world, and every
film will be screened in the Columbus Theater in front of a full audience.
