Over the summer, California State University, Northridge hosted 40 students for a three-week intensive program in film and a four-week English class as part of its partnership with the prestigious Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
In its second year, the UNAM Film Workshop allowed UNAM students a unique opportunity to hear directly from U.S. film industry professionals, take studio tours and see film screenings.
