UNREASON BY CHRIS READING, MADE FOR THE SFL 48HR FILM CHALLENGE
Released on 28 March 2025 Time Travel Is Dangerous is a wildly entertaining sci-fi comedy with sharp humour, clever twists, and a fantastic cast. Directed by Chris Reading, the film is based on his original short, which was created for the SCI-FI-LONDON 48-Hour Film Challenge, our film competition that is known for producing innovative and imaginative short films in a weekend!
Time Travel Is Dangerous is coming to UK cinemas from 28th March
Back in 2019, when we could meet and party, the 48hr awards were held at Stratford Picturehouse – check out this video chat with the 2019 winners.
There is no better thing you can do than take part in a 48hr challenge, ‘cos the worst that can happen is you’ll have made a film by Monday!
At 11am (UK time) on challenge day 1, we will give you the TITLE of the film you will make, a PROP list, a line of DIALOGUE and an optional IDEA/THEME. You then have until Monday to WRITE, SHOOT and DELIVER your complete 5-minute film.
We want to thank our sponsors for supporting this event.
The sci-fi-london 48hr film challenge was started in 2008 and has had over 1400 short films made since then. The quality of the films created is amazing and proves that you can make engaging science fiction films on a low-to-no budget. Thank you to all those who have taken part.
