The 48 Hour Film Project, the world’s largest timed filmmaking competition, gives New York City teams of New York City filmmakers one character, one line of dialogue, one genre, one prop and two days to see if they can complete a movie. Tonight, a collection of seven-minute films created over the previous weekend of May 29th make their world premiere. New York City is one of a record 80 cities worldwide to be included in the 48 Hour Film Project’s 2009 tour, which will include the first-ever local contests in such far-flung cities as Beijing; San Juan; Lisbon; and Paducah, Kentucky.
