Thanks to a timely message (pun intended) from last week, we are reminded that Illini Film & Video<\/strong> is once again organizing the popular 49-Hour Film Festival<\/strong> and seeking hardy parties of student filmmakers to partake. The challenge begins on Friday, November 5, 5 p.m.<\/strong>, when all registered teams will receive their prompts and be sent on their merry way to create and hand in their entries by Sunday, November 7, 6 p.m.<\/strong> (Pick-up and drop-off locations will presumably be revealed to the teams at some point this week.) All films successfully completed will be shown on Monday, November 8, 7:30 p.m.<\/strong>, in the Illini Union Ballroom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar with the challenge, sponsored this year by the Illini Tech Center<\/strong>, the following description from the e-mail blast details how it works:<\/p>\n
