In September each year – during a single weekend – over 1000 Cape Town filmmakers engage in a test of stamina and skill, to create short films with big impact, in The 48 Hour Film Project. There are over R1 million in prizes on offer and the winner will get a chance to showcase their work at Filmapalooza in Los Angeles. Registration is now open – follow their socials for updates. Smile 90.4FM is the official radio partner to The 48 Hour Film Project.
The winning film of 2021 was “Dissonance” by Wyrd Films. During the course of an increasingly out of control live radio interview, classical music composer Gabriella confronts presenter Anton about the dark secrets in her past. You can watch it here.
