The Qatar 48 Hour Film Challenge is a thrilling and sleepless weekend aimed for participants to produce a 5-minute movie in 48 hours.

Interested participants will have the chance to attend a mixer before the challenge, where they can form teams and discuss ideas with other film makers. Enthusiastic participants of all backgrounds, ages and careers are eligible to participate.

On a Thursday night, we will have several themes shuffled in a hat, one of which a participant will blindly draw from it. The teams are then given a genre, a prop, and a line to include in their films.

On Saturday night, the ideas that have turned into realities are submitted. The films are screened at a theatre in front of a panel of professional judges and an audience of filmmakers, families and friends. Prizes will be given to best film, best cinematography, best sound, and best film editing.

The event will be hosted on the 26-28th of September (6:30 - 8:30) at the student center cinema.
