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.
