Watch for the call
We will publish the next submission window, eligibility rules, fees, permitted runtimes and applicable film rights before accepting entries.
From vision to the big screen
EVERY STORY STARTS SOMEWHERE.
Here’s how the intended Film Faster 48 journey is designed to work when the next submission window opens. Final eligibility, process and program terms will be announced before new entries are accepted.
The filmmaker’s journey
HOW THE STORY UNFOLDS.
The festival is currently being rescheduled. These are intended process stages—not an announcement of open submissions, guaranteed screenings or confirmed awards.
Curated consideration
Eligible submissions are considered according to the published rules and the next announced review and selection process.
Festival programming
Official selections may be invited to approved screening or partner programming, subject to the finalized festival schedule.
Connect beyond the film
Future industry conversations, community programs and educational experiences may offer new ways to engage.
Important for filmmakers
YOUR FILM. YOUR RIGHTS.
Submitting filmmakers retain their underlying ownership, subject to the specific screening and promotional permissions in any official submission agreement they accept. Do not rely on older promotional claims as future prize or distribution guarantees.
The “48” in Film Faster 48 is the brand name. It does not create a mandatory 48-hour film-production requirement.
