The film marathon is sort of an athletic challenge. A race against time, as the participants only have one day, 24-hour hours, to make their film.
A crew can have only one or more members. Participants have to create a maximum one minute long short film to raise awareness on what we can do to save our environment, like being a bit more energy efficient or taking a bit more care in our daily life.
The online competition is open to anyone from anywhere.
