On June 4, New York teams set out to make a short film in forty-eight hours, with the results shown June 11-13. The field has been narrowed down to thirteen finalists, which gather together at the Cantor Film Center tonight to compete for Best Directing, Best Script, Best Cinematography, Best Use of Prop, and other awards as well as the chance to qualify for the International Grand Prize and potentially get shown at Cannes. Among the films are Drop Table Productions’ “Adventure Cereal,” Girard Street’s “Lights Are On, Nobody’s Holmes,” Cup O’ Meat’s “das Ei und die Lenkbare,” Tiger Fight’s “Clark Holographics,” and Proper Villains’ “Swing, Set.” The Best of New York 48HFP Screening will be followed by an after-party at BLVD at 199 Bowery that will include a two-hour open bar and food.
