After 3 years of existence, a total of 310 participating teams and as many new stories that testify to the climate emergency, the Défi 48h Très Court Environnement returns for its fourth edition. This year again, we invite filmmakers, novices or experienced, to take up the issues of our century and create a unique and committed Très Court.
You have (almost) a free hand to imagine the future oh humanity. That makes one dream, doesn't it ?
The challenge?
In only 48 hours, you and your team will write, shoot and edit a less than 4 minutes short film . But not only that, in the race against the clock, four constraints are imposed on the teams: a theme to respect as well as an object, a character and a sentence to place.
This year constraints will be announced simultaneously on all our social networks on June 3rd at 7pm (Paris time). In the meanwhile, you can take a look at last year edition and discover the 19 finalist short films.
