This year’s TEDxFulbright, which will be held on September 26th at the Broad Stage, Santa Monica College, will feature TEDTalks from 18 original speakers with the spirit of “ideas worth spreading.” The event will welcome up to 500 alumni, current grantees, and friends to Los Angeles in order to stimulate engaging conversation, and connect deeply through a shared commitment to the Fulbright Vision. This is a one-day interdisciplinary conference for Fulbright alumni and internationally-minded members of the public guided by the theme “Fights Worth Fighting” and organized by the Fulbright Association.

“The New York Film Academy is proud to be a partner with the Fulbright Association and support the important TedxFulbright event as the primary sponsor,” said Jim Miller, NYFA’s Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. “The Film Academy is committed to working with the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of Fulbright to making this year’s TedxFulbright the most impactful ever.”

The Fulbright Scholarship Program nurtures mutual understanding across cultures by the exchange of talented individuals, as ambassadors in all fields of professional engagement. The New York Film Academy is honored to have been a host institution to more than 30 exceptional filmmakers and media arts students from 14 countries through the Fulbright Foreign Student Program.

“We regard our relationships with the Fulbright Commissions/Foundations, U.S. Embassies, the Institute of International Education (IIE), and AMIDEAST as vital in utilizing the visual arts to promote the values of the Fulbright Program around the globe,” added Jim Miller.
