Good World Media headed off to Providence, Rhode Island this past weekend for an inspirational visit to RISD (Rhode Island School of Design). Aside from touring the campus, and spending a few hours at the school’s design museum, we had the opportunity to attend The 2011 Lights Film Festival, a student-curated showcase of short films and animations from RISD and around the world.

A few of them really stood out in our mind, which we’re excited to showcase here:

Out of Sight by Ya – Ting Yu, Ya – Hsuan Yeh and Ling chung

Absolutely wonderful concept and animation about how life can be with a handicap.
