Introducing the Celluloid Road Trip Blogathon: International Edition!
Dreaming of travels, Hometowns to Hollywood is excited to present its eighth official blogathon, entitled “Celluloid Road Trip Blogathon: International Edition.” Back in 2020, Hometowns to Hollywood ran the “Celluloid Road Trip Blogathon: Domestic Edition,” which focused on depictions of cities throughout the United States. This year, we are going beyond the U.S. and focusing on Hollywood depictions of cities abroad. While Hollywood productions were sometimes shot on location, in many other cases, they were not. Nonetheless, through movie magic, studios were able to portray their imagined depictions of the intended locations in which their stories were set.
Join Hometowns to Hollywood for this imagined road trip by sharing your articles about films set anywhere beyond the United States. In the end, when all articles are compiled, we’ll have a lovely list of destinations spotlighted on our journey through films.
The Celluloid Road Trip Blogathon: International Edition will run from October 11th through October 13th in 2023.
Rules and Information:
- Bloggers are encouraged to write about any film featuring or focused upon a particular location beyond the United States. On-location filming is not required but is also certainly welcomed.
- There are many classic Hollywood films that are set in a wide array of locations. Please avoid repeat submissions for a particular location.
- Please let me know your film of choice and the location it focuses upon.
