History and Highballs: Still Starring North Carolina!

Thursday, May 2, 2024, 7 p.m., via Zoom

The Zoom link will be posted the day of the program and sent out to all registrants.

Speaker: Sally Causey Bloom, Director, Longleaf Film Festival, North Carolina Museum of History

Way back in 2014, the North Carolina Museum of History’s exhibit Starring North Carolina! explored the state’s more than 100-year history of filmmaking. The exhibit launched Longleaf Film Festival in 2015. Today, the exhibit is closed, but both Longleaf and the state’s many connections to filmmaking continue. Sure, you know about the North Carolina connection to Bull Durham (1988) and Dirty Dancing (1987), but what about The Heart of Esmeralda (1912) or Summer Camp (2024)? Of course, commercial film is the tip of the iceberg of what filmmaking means in the Tar Heel State. So why North Carolina, and how can you access the latest and greatest in North Carolina–related film action? Join Sally Causey Bloom, director of Longleaf Film Festival, to explore some of the history and ongoing contributions to cinema in our state and beyond!
