Short film entries for Gauteng’s 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP) screen until 29 September at Ster-Kinekor’s Cinema Nouveau in Rosebank, Johannesburg.
Established and up-and-coming filmmakers who had just 48 hours to produce a movie from script to screen submitted 70 entries that show daily at 17h00 and 20h30. Audiences are invited to support local talent and vote for their favourite film – the movie with the most votes will receive an Audience Award.
In October, a panel of judges will announce the overall Johannesburg winner chosen to represent South Africa at the 2014 Filmpalooza in New Orleans in the US. The top 10 films selected at Filmpalooza will screen at the 2014 Cannes International Film Festival’s short film corner.
Says Lola Gallant, brand manager of Cinema Nouveau: “Cinema Nouveau is delighted to be involved in this exciting project, and to provide the platform to showcase our local talent and their short films. The 48HFP’s mission is to advance film making and promote local filmmakers – both established and novices.
“We share this mission as one of the world’s only dedicated “art cinema’ chains, screening independent, alternative and art cinema content from cultures across the globe, and right here at home.’
Tickets are R40 each and can be booked through www.cinemanouveau.co.za, atsterkinekor.mobi or Ticketline on 082 16789.
