The Melbourne 48 Hour Film Project 2026

After the filmmaking concludes, we’ll be hosting premiere screenings at Eclipse Cinema! Juries will then vote on the top films, with the winning project going on to represent Melbourne at Filmapalooza - a prestigious festival that features the best shorts from 48 Hour Film Project competitions around the world. The 48 Hour Film Project weekend will culminate in an exciting awards ceremony where we’ll celebrate the incredible achievements of our talented local filmmakers. We judge films for their creativity, making it an even playing field for professionals and amateurs alike! Now is the time to push your creativity, try something new, and join our growing global community for fast-paced filmmaking. Sign up your team today and get seen on the big screen!
