It is not mandatory to attend the launch to participate.

Compete in teams to create the best film with a 48-hour deadline and win a fabulous prize! The 48-Hour Filmmaking Challenge’s launch event will be held on August 16 from 5:30 – 6:00 pm at the Regina Public Library Film Theatre. At the launch, competing teams will receive the line, prop, and sound that they must include in their short films. This ensures that the films were created within the time allotted. The 48-hour timer begins as soon as the launch ends. When the 48 hours are up, teams must submit their completed short films on the Filmfreeway website to qualify for the Screening Event when selected films will be screened and winners announced. If you are not able to attend the launch, qualifying line, prop and sound will be posted on RPL’s website at the time of the launch.

Having trouble uploading your film to Filmfreeway? Contact Wendy Peart at wpeart@reginalibrary.ca or 306-777-6044.
