Please note that filmSPARK only features films made in North Carolina.
Now in its twelfth year, SPARKcon takes over downtown Raleigh, NC September 14-17 to bring the best of the local creative community out for an arts celebration like no other! Only at SPARKcon can you attend a film screening, catch local indie bands, take part in a poetry jam, destroy a small city dressed as a giant robot, and enjoy a fire show all in the same day!
Organized by Triangle Filmmaking Community, filmSPARK serves as a film festival within a festival. Our goal is share excellent and engaging North Carolina-made films with the public, as well as to raise awareness of the local filmmaking community.
We are accepting short and feature length films in the following categories:
Comedy
Drama
Documentary
Kids/Family
Genre
Experimental
Each category will have an award for Best Film and Audience Choice. The final day of the FilmSPARK, we will have a screening of the winning films where we will announce a Best in Show based on judge and audience rankings.
The film incentives might be gutted, but we are still here, MAKING GREAT FILMS! Let's show NC what we got!
Each film screened will receive exclusive "Official Selection" laurels.
"Judges Choice" laurels will be awarded for films that score the highest rating by FilmSPARK judges in each genre catagory.
"Festival Winner" laurels will be awarded to the film that scores the highest rating overall by FilmSPARK judges.
