The Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Project is an annual filmmaking competition where teams write, shoot, and edit a short film within a 48-hour timeframe. It includes premiere screenings and an awards ceremony, where one of the accolades presented is the "Audience Choice" award, voted on by the audience at various screenings. The winner of the Best Film from Pittsburgh goes on to represent the city at Filmapalooza and is eligible for a screening at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner.
