Filmmakers from all over Mongolia are to compete to see who can make the best short film in only 48 hours. Registered filmmakers have to make their short films in 48 hours from 30^th September to 2^nd October. Each team must select its movie genre in a random draw 15 minutes before the start of the competition. In 2015 there were 14 genres. In addition, the teams are given a character, a prop and a line of dialogue that must appear in their film. The remarkable ‘48 hours’ film project has been organized since 2010.

The winning film will go up against films from around the world at Filmapalooza 2017 for a chance at the grand prize and an opportunity to screen in next year's Cannes Film Festival's 'Court Métrage' – or short film category.
