The 48 Hour Film Project will take place in Utrecht during the weekend of June 16-18. This filmmaking competition is held in more than 120 cities around the world, and now once again in Utrecht. The competition will be hosted at the Kinepolis Jaarbeurs cinema, where the premieres and award show will take place. Registration is now open.

The originally American concept of the 48 Hour Film Project, in which teams compete against each other to make the best short film within 48 hours, is returning to Utrecht. This year, the organization is once again in experienced hands, including producer Indra van 't Hooft. "Utrecht is a cultural city, full of creative people. In addition, it has a vibrant audiovisual industry and educational institutions. We want to provide a space for both emerging makers and professionals," says van 't Hooft.

The premieres of the produced films and the spectacular award show will take place on July 2 in the modern and beautiful Kinepolis cinema. The winner of the Utrecht competition qualifies for the world final, which will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, next March. From there, they even stand a chance of being selected for the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival.

An expert jury judges the films and presents the prizes. The 48 Hour Film Project is for filmmakers and creatives of all levels. From beginners to professionals, everyone is welcome. As a result, it is a true breeding ground for talent.
