48 Hour Films
Every year, filmmakers gather in cities around the world to receive a genre, character name, prop, and line of dialogue. They then have 48 hours to write, shoot, and edit a short film incorporating all those elements. The results are often amazingly good, as this presentation of the best film from each city shows. There are surreal mind-benders, side-splitting comedies, action-packed thrillers, and more here, and having the filmmakers around for a Q&A afterwards was a delight. It's inspiring to see what can be done when the clock is ticking, and the quality of these shorts suggests that pressure really can produce some of the most amazing art around.
