MiShorts has joined forces with the Branchage and London Short Film Festivals to bring you an unusual online film competition.

The ‘Vauxhall 48-hour Film Challenge’ took place at the Branchage festival in October 2009, when five teams of hotly-tipped European filmmakers, headed by the UK's Blaine Brothers, were set the task of creating an original film in just two days - with genre and title drawn from a hat. You can watch these films in glorious HD in a special voting area on the MiShorts site and help decide which wins the Best Film prize of £1,000.

Our special Culture Counter gives you a real-time display of each film’s progress and we expect things to get pretty tense as the deadline approaches. And if that’s not enough excitement for you, we also have an official screening/awards party in London on January 11th at the Roxy Bar and Screen from 7pm.
