Celebrating Film in Visual Art

A Juried Exhibition Hosted by the Full Bloom Film Festival, Iredell Arts Council, and Speedball Art

Cinema tells stories. Visual art captures emotion. Together, they inspire something unforgettable.

As part of the 10th Year Celebration of the Full Bloom Film Festival, we're thrilled to present the 1st Annual Celebrating Film in Visual Art Exhibition—a juried competition that invites artists to explore the magic of film through visual media. Whether you're inspired by an iconic character, a legendary director, a specific genre, or the atmosphere of cinema itself, this is your chance to translate that inspiration into visual art.

THEME

The theme is open to interpretation: evoke a mood, celebrate a film, channel a personality, or reimagine a scene—this show is your stage.
