48-Hour Film Frenzy

The Geelong 48 Hour Film Frenzy is bringing back high-energy ‘real-time’ film making to the Geelong region in this fun 48 hour film shootout. 

Taking place over the weekend of October 11-13, 2024, film makers from around Australia will converge on the Geelong region to create a short 4-7 minute film that must include three crucial elements that will be revealed at the launch of the weekend event.

All ages, professional and amateur film makers, students - both University and High-school - anyone with an interest in film making is urged to sign-up for this exciting new event.

In the weeks leading up to the event teams will plan their film - scope locations, write their script and cast their actors and crews.

While much can be planned in advance, three key criteria will be revealed on the Friday night prior to event start. 

In the weeks following the event, a series of screenings at a local Geelong Cinema and a premiere awards night will be held. 

Celebrities from the film industry will honour filmmakers with various awards and the inaugural Geelong Waterfront Film - '48 Hour Film Frenzy Laurel'.
