A team of Irish filmmakers are setting out to make a cinema-quality feature film in just 72 hours.

The Ballad of Des & Mo is a romantic comedy that will be made on the fly on location in Melbourne from 3 August, edited live at Federation Square and screened at ACMI on Sunday 8 August.

Note that the screening of the 72 Hour Project has been granted an exemption to be shown at an MA15+ rating. Those under the age of 15 years are able to attend if in the company of a parent or adult guardian.
