On the 26th to the 28th, we held our first Cork City 48 Hour Film Challenge with the aim for each team was to write, shoot and edit a five minute short film within 48 hours while also adhering to some specific rules. Each team submitted a title which was randomly assigned to another team and given a choice of two genres to write from. Each film also had to have a scene/shot set on the Grand Parade in Cork City.
On the 28th of July, we saw 13 new films made by each team involved and an awards ceremony commenced afterwards. Take a look at the films made and where the films are not available online, we suggest getting into contact with the creators if you want to view them.
