...and a Movie!
Cinematheque is Winnipeg's home of independent and home-grown Canadian film. Located at 100 Arthur Street in Winnipeg's industry-friendly Exchange District, it has boasted many an impressive marquis. Beginning March 16, Cinematheque and the Winnipeg Film Group are conducting a two-day "guerrilla filmmaking" challenge, the aptly named 48 Hour Film Contest. Registration takes place on March 16, and films in duration of 3-5 minutes must be completed and submitted within the 48 hours preceeding 8pm, March 18. If you've been a surreptitious Speilberg type with some great ideas, this is an amazing opportunity to have your work screened at a festival. If not, why not come down to see what Winnipeg's genuine amateur filmmakers (let us disregard that tacky mainstream euphamism) have to offer?
