48 Hour Film Project in Partnership with AIFF
announces the opportunity of...
...a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie - write, shoot, and edit - in just 48 hours. On Friday night, teams draw a genre from a hat. They are then given a character, prop and line to include in their films. On Sunday night, in a wild dash to the drop-off event, the film is turned in - and teams celebrate. The films are then screened at a local theater in front of an audience of filmmakers, friends, and families. In 2023, we'll be celebrating 20 years of the Boston 48HFP and we are inviting you to participate.
Check out the details and join us!

commissioned to honor
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
AIFF embraces the intention of the sculptor, to remind us of the importance and the need to
embrace one another.
