The Toronto 48 Hour Film Project is an annual filmmaking competition where teams create a short film—including writing, shooting, and editing—in just 48 hours. The completed films are then premiered at local cinemas and judged for various awards. The winner of "Best Film" from the Toronto event goes on to represent the city at Filmapalooza, an international competition featuring winning films from 48 Hour Film Project events worldwide, with some eligible for a screening at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner.
