It's sad, but 48 Fest, the film competition that gives six teams just 48 hours to script, shoot and edit a short film, is over - well for another year, anyway! However, there's plenty to be happy about as there are six thought-provoking, emotive and creative resulting films to now watch - check them all out in our media section.
What was the deal? 48 Fest took place on 3rd of July in the robust city of Nairobi in Kenya at the first ever Women’s Summit on Leadership on HIV and AIDS. 30 young people who attended the summit were given the opportunity to produce these short films.
How did it all work? Participants had two days to produce their films from scratch. The brief was to look at the many challenges of HIV and AIDS, but with a female slant. However, the films aren’t just targeted at women, in fact everyone might learn something. A panel of expert judges, including acclaimed director Bryan Barber gave their opinions on all six films, and chose an overall winner.
Considering all films were shot on zero budget, they really are an amazing feat.
