It’s been ten years since Géraldine Santin, a former Muretian, produced the 48 Hour Film Project in Toulouse. True to its roots, for the 10th consecutive year it chose the Véo de Muret cinema for the screenings and the awards ceremony. This successful partnership has even generated a coveted prize: the “VEO Prize”, and the winning short film is regularly screened at the Muret International Film Festival.
For the 2024 edition, Géraldine is delighted: “We went from 9 teams 10 years ago to 50 this year, making Toulouse one of the great cities of the 48HFP! It is an extraordinary human and creative adventure, where the we fully feel the Toulouse audiovisual creative energy.” This success is also based on its partners, in particular: “The VEO cinema of course but also Georges Ribaucour, Simon Chirouze and the entire team at Numériphot, Canon and Adrien Picq from Étincelle Color”.
For the prize list, alongside Géraldine Santin, the members of the jury, Adrien Picq, Isabelle Dario, Guillaume Huynh Quan Suu, Isabelle Barrière, Rémi Veyrié, Gaël Réthoré awarded numerous prizes.
