WHAT’S THE LI72?
The LI72 Film Festival is a fun competition for young filmmakers and students of all backgrounds to challenge themselves creatively. In this festival, you will be given a genre, character, prop and line of dialogue that you must adhere to while creating a complete short film in a period of only 72 hours. This entails: writing an original script using the assigned elements, shooting, editing and delivery of the completed project. Find out exactly how it works.
