The 48 Hour Film Project hit Albuquerque this past weekend, with teams of filmmakers scrambling to write, direct, edit and premiere short films in just two days. The deadlines are up and the “premiere” part of that cycle is about to come to fruition. As usual KiMo Theatre (423 Central Ave. NW) serves as the venue for the public to view the results of this year’s madcap local filmmaking marathon. Every one of the films shot this year was required to incorporate the same prop (a burrito), the same character (Heath or Heather Torres, fitness instructor) and the same line of dialogue (“As flat as a pancake”). Block A screens Thursday, Aug. 2 at 6pm and features the first 11 shorts. Block B contains the next 10 shorts and screens at 8:30pm. Block C, the final 11 films, gets underway on Friday, Aug. 3, at 7pm. Tickets are $10 for each screening block or $29 for all three. To snag your tickets in advance, go to kimotickets.com. For a look at the teams in each screening block, go to 48hourfilm.com/albuquerque-nm. Following the screening and the judging (the top film will go on to compete nationally), a “Best 48 Hour Films 2018” screening takes over the KiMo on Thursday, Aug. 9 at 7pm. Tickets for that one are $10 as well.
