The Fortnight Film Contest is an annual competition organized by the Capital City Film Festival in Lansing, Michigan, challenging teams of amateur, student, and professional filmmakers in Michigan to create original short films within a two-week period. These films must typically be 10 minutes or less, including credits, and at least one key creative position on the team must be a Michigan resident. The contest offers over $5,000 in cash prizes, and qualifying entries are screened as part of the Capital City Film Festival lineup.
