HOUGHTON, MI-- Michigan Technological University is holding its 41 North Film Festival over the next few days on campus.
Formerly called the Northern Lights Film Festival, 41 North features award-winning independent films from throughout the world.
One of the highlights of this year’s festival is the movie “Life Animated”, about Owen Suskind, the son of Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Ron Suskind. Owen is on the autism spectrum and is unable to speak until he and his family connect through Disney films.
Suskind and Academy Award-winning director Roger Ross Williams, who directed “Life Animated”, will attend the Friday showing and hold a panel discussion afterward. The film begins at 7:30.
The festival runs through Sunday. For more information about films, times, and venues, go to 41northfilmfest.org.
