The Association

of Literature/Film Quarterly, its contributors, and supporters to provide

orderly and expedient future planning and to encourage humanistic

approaches to cinema studies.  For over a decade, LFQ conferences have

been held at Salisbury State University, Towson State University, the W.

Alton Jones Conference Center of the University of Rhode Island, and the

Sheraton Ocean City Resort & Conference Center.
