In September, Hunter Film and Media students and faculty travelled to Hong Kong as the second part of an exchange with the Film Academy at Hong Kong Baptist University that brought HKBU students to Hunter last April. Students enjoyed sharing their films and their experiences across cultural and geographic boundaries. As student Karina Sanchez noted “I never imagined I would be traveling to Asia so soon in my life.” The week-long visit was supported by Hunter Education Abroad.

IMA alumna Samantha Farinella and Amanda Katz co-directed the film Gentrification Express: Breaking Down the BQX. It was selected into the Bushwick Film Festival in the “Onwards, Forwards” section.
