Mumbai: Eighty-four teams and 800 filmmakers from across India have signed up for this year's 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP). This is part of the Mumbai leg of the international film-making competition.
The top ten films will be going to the Cannes 2011 Short Film Corner.
This weekend, until tomorrow, the participants are expected to make a movie — write, shoot, edit and score it — in just 48 hours.
In 2009, 40,000 filmmakers made 3,000 films in 76 cities and this year it is going to be even bigger.
