More than 30 short films created in the Oklahoma City edition of the international 48 Hour Film Project will premiere starting at 4 p.m. Sunday at the Oklahoma City Farmers Public Market, 311 S Klein Ave.

The filmmaking teams accepted the challenge to write, shoot and edit a four- to seven-minute short film in just one weekend July 21-23, with groups filming in OKC, Tulsa, Lawton and several points in between. Each film had to incorporate a certain character, prop and line selected at random at the beginning of the weekend.

The shorts will be judged for various awards by a local filmmaker panel, and the film declared the overall best film of the OKC challenge will be submitted to the international 48 Hour Film Project competition, Filmapalooza, to be screened and judged with more than 100 city winners from around the globe. From there, 12 films will be chosen to screen in the Short Film Corner at the Cannes International Film Festival.
