SCI-FI-LONDON 48-HOUR FILM CHALLENGE CELEBRATES 15 YEARS OF DISCOVERING FUTURE FILMMAKERS!
Tuesday, 18th March 2025, London, UK: The SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival’s 48-Hour Film Challenge, is back for its 15th year! Open to filmmakers of all ages and abilities from anywhere in the world, this legendary challenge has launched careers and produced incredible films—most recently, TIME TRAVEL IS DANGEROUS, a direct adaptation of Chris Reading’s 48-hour entry, hitting cinemas on 28 March.
Over the years, the challenge has uncovered outstanding talent, including Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), who began his journey right here. The competition pushes filmmakers to their limits, giving them just one weekend to write, shoot, and edit a short sci-fi film based on supplied creative elements revealed at kick-off.
A distinguished panel of jurors will judge this year’s submissions, including awardwinning sci-fi author Adrian Tchaikovsky, ESA lunar expert Nadine Boersma, and Gavin Rothery the co-creator of the iconic movie MOON.
“Our challenge is where innovation meets adrenaline,” says Louis Savy, Director of SCI-FI-LONDON. “It’s an incredible launchpad for fresh sci-fi talent, and we can’t wait to see this year’s entries.”
It’s completely free to enter! Registration is now open, so don’t miss your chance to be part of the world’s most exciting sci-fi film challenge.
