At 6:00 PM on Friday, May 2, CCAE will host the 2025 Boston 48 Hour Film Project Kickoff live at the Blacksmith House (and online) as teams randomly draw genres before racing off to complete 4-7 minute movies by the evening of Sunday, May 4 for a chance to premiere at the Somerville Theatre (and possibly even screen at the Cannes Film Festival)! Please email Boston@48HourFilm.com to register and for further information.
From Film Weekend Kickoff to Screening to Awards… Gather friends, colleagues, and family as teammates! Write, shoot and edit a short film based on the genre you draw at The Kickoff and the required character, prop, and line assigned for your city. Premiere YOUR film! Celebrate with awards, including an Audience Award. The winner of Best Film goes to Filmapalooza in March 2026, and is eligible for a spot in our screening at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner! Try something new, level up your filmmaking, and join our community. Sign up your team today! Make a movie!
