The annual 48-hour film competition returns for 2026! Filmmakers who sign up will be given a prompt at 7 PM on Friday in the Lincoln Square Mall and have until 7 PM on Sunday to write, produce, and edit a short film based off that prompt. A screening will be held with independent judges choosing a winner based off how well the team used the prompt. At least one team member must be there in person for the kickoff to receive the prompt which will contain a physical item.
Teams interested in competing can sign up here: https://forms.gle/bGWLytj25M6PiCku9
Teams must register by 12 PM on Thursday, January 15th.
Don't have a team? Don't worry! We're also taking registrations for free agents. These free agents will be formed into teams before the competition. Offer your skills or just an extra set of hands on set by signing up here: https://forms.gle/o64UaqMG1WsM67Sy8
The screening of the finished films will be the following weekend (January 25) as part of the Chambana Film Society's Savoy Arthouse series.
