One way to address myths and misunderstandings about China is to view films and discuss them with experts from a range of fields and backgrounds. In February 2015, Furman hosted the Chinese Environmental Film Festival to accomplish this goal. Students from Debunking the Myths of China, a First Year Seminar class, helped coordinate festival publicity, refreshments, and logistics. Faculty participating in the Luce Initiative on Asian Studies and the Environment (LIASE) exploratory grant and LIASE Student Fellows also helped make the festival a success. Festival sponsors provided financial support and helped procure the films needed for the festival screenings.
