Over the last four years the SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival has run a 48hour Film Challenge and we have had over 380 films completed, many of which have gone to other film festivals and been broadcast on TV. The challenge takes place a few weeks before the film festival so they can judge all the entries and the winning films can be screened at the festival. The jury this year includes Benedict Cumberbatch (SHERLOCK), Brad Wyman (Producer, MONSTER) and Guillermo Del Toro.<\/p>\n
ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n CHALLENGE STARTS 10.00AM, SAT 6 APRIL<\/p>\n Taking part is easy. Get a crew together, scout some locations, prep your cast and be ready to make a 5 minute short film<\/strong> in just 48 hours. They will ask your team to come to the BFI Southbank on Saturday 6 April at 10.00am where they give you the TITLE<\/strong> of the film you will make, some DIALOGUE<\/strong> that one of your characters must say to screen, and a list of PROPS<\/strong> that must be seen in the film. They also give you an optional scientific<\/strong> theme… this could be nano-tech, cloning, gene-splicing…or something a little more “fringe”. Once you have all your elements, you have until Monday morning to return the completed movie to them. You can either deliver it to the BFI or send it via the Internet (wetransfer).<\/p>\n It is free to take part and you just need to register in advance on their site<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.sci-fi-london.com\/48-hour-film-challenge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the last four years the SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival has run a 48hour Film Challenge and we have had over 380 films completed, many of which have gone to other film festivals and been broadcast on TV.
