On Sunday afternoon 11 November, at 1pm, twelve teams of film makers will be given a suggestion to make a film...that will have to be brought back to the Star and Shadow at 5pm the same day! All the films will be shown to the public in the evening, and the Four Hour Film Challenge Cup will be voted for by industry judges.

Can you make a short film in just 4 hours? 

IF films are hosting a day of moving image mayhem as twelve teams of brave guerrilla film makers take part in a spontaneous cinematic shootout. 

At 1pm on Sunday 11^th of November the teams will be given an envelope containing a suggestion and provided with 1 professional actor who must play the central role in a short film of no more than 5 minutes. 

Then the teams have only 4 hours to shoot, edit and deliver their film back at the venue for the gala screening. 

The films will then be appraised by an illustrious panel of film buffs who decide on their top 3 films – and an overall winner of the 4 hour film Challenge cup. 

Last years event was a huge success with some really wonderful little films made on zero budget and it’s a fabulous opportunity to meet other movie makers.
