The 48 Hour Film Contest 2017 has come to a close and it was a great success! This is the second year in a row that we premiered films at the Gimli Theatre to a sold out crowd of over 250+ attendees and our event was a big draw to the Gimli Film Festival. In addition to Gimli, this was the first year that we hosted an encore screening at the Metropolitan Entertainment Centre were the attendance was over 380+ attendees. Thanks to all the sponsors, staff, volunteers, filmmakers and audience members who came to support local film!
