Calling all Melbourne filmmakers! Taking place across more than 100 cities across the globe, the 48 Hour Film Project is returning to Melbourne for only one wild and sleepless weekend this September! 

From September 20th-22nd, teams of local filmmakers will be challenged to write, shoot, and edit an original short film all within an exhilarating 48 hours! 

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a first time filmmaker or a certified pro - the project is open to filmmakers of all backgrounds and experience levels. Ultimately, we aim to provide a platform for you to showcase your creativity, experiment with new techniques in a low-risk setting, and collaborate with like-minded individuals, whilst providing you an opportunity to network with industry professionals and build a portfolio of work. 

What’s more, all films submitted to the 2024 project will be screened at Lido Cinemas on October 16th and 17th in Hawthorn! The winning film of the Melbourne project will then go up against films from around the world at Filmapalooza 2025 for a chance at the grand prize and an opportunity to screen at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner! 

So REGISTER NOW to be a part of the fun-filled, adrenaline packed weekend that has jump-started the careers of countless filmmakers around the world!

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
