Deleting posters without a reason

Hey, everyone. I would like to ask why my posters, which I have been doing for days, are now getting deleted because it's "Fan art"? None of the posters made is fan-art, I have taken all of the photos directly from the movies, from YouTube or Pinterest. How is that a fan art? I asked an admin, and all they said was "we deleted all of them... It's fan-art". Okay? No explanation, nothing at all. There's no policies in the site saying I can't do posters with scenes from the movies, how is that a fan-art?- I honestly can't comprehend how ridiculous that is and how offensive it is to joke with someone's work like that. I've been doing this for DAYS, for it to be deleted without any explanation.

If you take an element of the film and create a poster yourself, it's called fan art. The opposite is official posters that have been released by the creators. You can find the guidelines on posters on the Contribution Bible.

They deleted their account, but it was a very obvious case of heavily edited fan art. All the posters seem to be in the same unofficial style (color, texture, font).
