168 Film Project
168 is a worldwide filmmaking competition, in which teams make a short film in 168 hours (1 week). Films premiere at the 168 Film Festival in April in Los Angeles.

All films are created during production week to premiere at the 168 Film Festival. At the end of the festival, awards are given to producers for artistic and technical merit.

The Jury always includes high-profile Hollywood professionals, such as 168 board member Ralph Winter (X-Men producer).

The 168 Film Project exists to encourage emerging filmmakers. Worldwide, people form groups that are passionate about telling stories. They get together and make movies based on the best-selling book of all time, the Bible.

168 has made 300 short films in 6 years in over 20 countries.

168 provide a training ground for filmmakers, reducing barriers to production and creating opportunities for pros and newcomers alike. Teams are made up of people with diverse backgrounds, who learn to forge dynamic, creative communities. They encourage fair treatment of subjects, with emphasis on story and subtlety.
