About The Academia Foundation
The Academia Foundation is a non-profit public charity located in Irvine, California. The Academia Foundation is committed to providing opportunities for intercultural and educational exchange between students, educators, educational organizations and the public in order to promote the broadening of perspectives. The Foundation seeks to inspire environmental, humanitarian and social responsibility through the power of motion pictures and the Internet, two of the world's most powerful communication tools. It is our goal to encourage social responsibility amongst young filmmakers, and to inspire people of various cultures to come together and overcome the challenges we face in preserving our environment and bettering the world. This is accomplished through the hosting of both online and on-site events, competitions, seminars, interviews and numerous other activities that help educate and create awareness about environmental, and humanitarian issues as well as encourage learning and social responsibility.
