Cinematheque at Home: The 48 Hour Film Contest

Synopsis

The Winnipeg Film Group’s 2020 COVID-19 Self-Isolation Pandemic Edition of the 48 Hour Film Contest continues its premiere run during the Cinematheque at Home series following the premiere at the Gimli Film Festival.

This historic program features 24 brand new Made-in-Manitoba short films.
