CHICAGO – HollywoodChicago.com presents the 2017 48 Hour Film Project Chicago awards and red carpet at the Music Box Theatre on Sept. 14, 2017.

Kalopsia Films won Best Film of 2017. Their film, “Hammersmith: Hurdle of Dreams,” will go on to represent Chicago against all of the other city winners around the world at Filmapalooza 2018. HollywoodChicago.com publisher Adam Fendelman presented the audience awards. Watch now!

The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless adventure in which emerging filmmakers create a short film in just 48 hours. Teams draw a genre from a hat and then are given a character, prop and line to include in their films. In a wild dash to the drop-off event, the film is turned in and teams celebrate. The film is then screened at the Music Box Theatre and awards are presented.

Review: May the Fourth Be With You in Must-See 'Trade Federation’ at Otherworld Theatre

But “Trade Federation” (subtitled “Or Let’s Explore Globalization Through the Star Wars Prequels”), presented by Otherworld Theatre in Wrigleyville Chicago, gets it right on.
