The world outside of our hometowns is vast and diverse. Many young people come to see these unique stories only when they go away to a university. Fewer still are able to study abroad and experience the wonders of another country’s culture. This program, therefore, aims to showcase all of the wonders of international film (any films outside of the United States) from the young people across the globe willing to share their art.
