The Writers Conference promotes its annual film festival. Each year, authors are invited to select films that have influenced their work or have a special connection to the theme. The film festival is free and open to the public.

All films will be shown in the Lecture Bowl, located on the second floor of the UND Memorial Union (Room 204) unless otherwise noted.
