The winner and the first runner-up for Best Film are “In Captivity" by Jpixx Films, from Hampton Roads; and “My Darling, I'm So Sorry" by so36portraits from Berlin, respectively.
The top 20 films will also be screened at this year’s Cannes film festival.
“A Good Day To Die,” last year’s global winning entry, was selected to be screened at Cannes in May that year after impressing audiences and experts at the Filmapolooza festival.
Created in the US in 2001 by Mark Ruppert and Liz Langston, the 48 Hour Film Project requires contestants to write, shoot, edit, and complete a short film within two days. It saw the participation of nearly 3,500 shorts in 84 cities around the world in 2010.
