The 48 Hour Film Project France is a regional component of the international 48 Hour Film Project, an annual filmmaking competition established in 2001 where teams write, shoot, and edit a short film within a 48-hour timeframe, incorporating assigned genre, character, prop, and line of dialogue. This competition has a presence in various French cities, including Paris, Lyon, and Montpellier, and also offers an online version. Winning films from the French editions become eligible to compete at Filmapalooza, the project's global festival, and may also be considered for a screening spot at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner.
