Last month we announced the 2015 Study Abroad Film Festival winner, It’s Okay by Kyle Rodriguez of Occidental College. Kyle was one of three finalists whose films were open for voting on Facebook, which also included:
- Bringing Light to Egoli by Larisa Manescu
- Abroad Sweet Abroad by Adrienne Picciotto
In total, there were 45 films submitted to the Study Abroad Film Festival. It wasn’t easy to narrow submissions down, so we invite you to watch how study abroad redefined the rest of our semi-finalists, too!
