48 Hour Film Challenge

Make a Film in a Weekend!

The Herne Hill Free Film Festival’s 48 HOUR FILM CHALLENGE is back to continue its search for the very best local filmmaking talent. This year we are delighted to be sponsored by Bunhead Bakery   

If you’re not already familiar with Herne HIll’s biggest annual filmmaking competition, we give you a line of dialogue, a prop, a Herne Hill location and 48 hours, and all you have to give us is a three minute short film. 

The clock starts ticking on Saturday 3 May so come to The Prince Regent between midday and 1.00pm to enter, and come back 48 hours later on Monday 5 May with your finished film. As with previous years there are three competition categories (under 16s; over 16s; and families) and you can be as creative as you wish using your phone, a tablet, a camera or anything else you can lay your hands on to craft your masterpiece. Judging is by a panel of local filmmaking talent.

The awards ceremony will see the Herne Hill Free Film Festival once again head to Station Hall above Herne Hill train station on Sunday 18 May at 6.00pm.

The winner takes home Clockie, the prize all Oscar, BAFTA and Palme d’Or winners would happily trade their awards and grandmothers for. Lovingly crafted out of something by one of our volunteers (yet to be decided), it’ll surely be something to take pride of place on any mantlepiece. Each category will also have some cash prizes for the winners too.
