When I first arrived in Cannes, it was peaceful beachfront city with scenic views and charming 
streets. Within a week, however, I watched the city as it transformed into a film extravaganza complete with movie stars, night clubs, and screenings of the world’s hottest new films. It was not an uncommon sight to see men in tuxedos and women in ball gowns strolling along the main street at 2 pm, nor was it rare to find yourself in the presence of great movie stars. The school in Cannes granted us tickets on a first come first serve basis, and we were even able to see the winner of the Palm D'or, the highest award a film can win at the festival. By choosing to study through Abroadco, I was given the opportunity to experience the Cannes Film Festival and the lovely city of Cannes at a much cheaper rate than say, Angelina and Brad. I would recommend this program to any college student looking for a career in film or simply a month in one of the most beautiful and glamorous locales in the world during its peak season!
