48 Eco-Film Challenge is a national short film competition designed to showcase how film can play a role in encouraging action relating to environmental, ecological and sustainability issues. But the real challenge lies in making a telling short film in only 48 hours.
Proudly supported by NRMA Motoring & Services, this year’s theme tackles this question: “As oil is getting harder to find and more expensive, what does our future hold for our vehicles and transportation in general?”
Over $10,000 in cash prizes will be awarded, $5000 cash goes to the winning film and it will be shown at the Cannes Short Film Corner. The competition takes place July 6-8, 2012..more about 48 Eco-Film Challenge.
