Little Cinema Galway City of Film 48 Hour Film-Making Challenge

Hello Everyone,

We have huge news! We are delighted to be collaborating with Galway Film Centre and Galway City of Film to hold a 48 Hour Film-making Challenge this June 15th to 18th!

It is something that we have wanted to do for a few years and thanks to the great support of the Galway Film Centre we are now able to make it happen!

Film-makers will have to write, shoot and edit their films in just 48 hours, which is a real test of their wits, ingenuity and teamwork! It’s €80 per team to enter and there will be 10 teams taking part with 4-8 official team members each.

The 48 Hour challenge will launch on Thursday 15th June in the Cornstore at the Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture offices, where film-making teams will meet and register for the weekend. Film-making for all registered teams will commence on Friday 16th June at 11am and finish at 11am  on Sunday 18th.

A special FREE screening will be held at Town Hall Theatre for all completed films on the evening of Sunday 18th June where a panel of film judges will choose a winning film and award a cash prize of €500! The free tickets to the screening will be available to book through our website closer to the date.

Applications are open from 10am Tuesday 2nd May and places are limited. The closing date for all applications is 5pm Wednesday 31st May 2017.  E-mail littlecinema48@galwaycityoffilm.com to enter and get more information.
