Moving Words 2024 Festival

Join us for an exciting event filled with words, creativity, and inspiration! The festival will take place on Sunday, October 20th, 2024, starting at 10:30 AM (EST). Doors will open at 10:00AM and close by 10:25am so we can begin promptly at 10:30AM.

Moving Words is a project that opens a dialogue between writers and filmmakers, intersecting voices of diverse backgrounds and all ages. Each year 10 writers (chosen through submission) will have their work made into a short, experimental film crafted by student film makers who are inspired by the writer's work.
