Get a Glimpse of the 2019 Festival

It was truly like a night at the Oscars...but of study abroad films. Attendees walked the red carpet, got their photo snapped by the paparazzi (ok, our photographer), and grabbed popcorn on their way to the theater to view a selection of films from our talented young filmmakers. It was quite an evening to remember at this year's IES Abroad 2019 Study Abroad Film Festival. 

Study abroad is great, even when your experience is overwhelming, emotional, or unexpected. That could probably best summarize the underlying theme of the Finalist film selections for the 6th Annual Study Abroad Film Festival. Hosted by film critic Richard Roeper, the Festival took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago on Thursday, November 7th in support of IES Abroad scholarships.

The whole night encouraged us to keep traveling, share our adventures, and forge strong relationships along the way. And that's exactly the message I wanted to share through my film: get out of your comfort zone, say yes to adventure, capture your experience, and use it to inspire others.
