The creative prowess of University of Windsor students and alumni featured prominently at this year’s Mark Boscariol 48-Hour FlickFest.

The unique event — part of the Windsor International Film Festival (WIFF) — challenges filmmakers to write, shoot and edit a short film in just two days.

Competing alongside 19 teams (including one from the U.S.), several UWindsor-led production teams took home top honours across multiple categories.
