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!
