About this Event
Get ready for Moving Words 2026 Film Festival, where poetry comes to life on the big screen in a experimental celebration of storytelling!
Welcome to the Moving Words 2026 Festival!

Join us for an exciting event filled with words, creativity, and inspiration! The festival will take place on Sunday, October 18th, 2026, 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 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.
