NYFA

The New York Film Academy is designed for a new generation of storytellers: visual artists who share a passion for motion pictures and want to learn by making their own projects in a hands-on, intensive program.

Students come from across the United States and all over the world to learn and work together in short-term workshops or one and two-year degree programs. In the creation of our curricula, we worked with faculty and professionals from around the world. We adapted the best ideas and elements from the leading degree programs and designed intensive and accelerated alternatives that provide a thorough grounding in the craft.

The courses balance the study of the craft with practical experience to train students to be the best filmmakers they can be. This is achieved by a rigorous schedule of classroom instruction, hands-on workshops, and immediate experience.

FILM SCHOOLS IN LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK CITY

New York City campuses are now located in Union Square and SoHo. On the West Coast, our home base is on the backlot at Universal Studios, Los Angeles. During the summer, NYFA holds short-term programs at a number of additional locations, including Harvard University; London, England; Paris, France; and Florence, Italy. In 2008 NYFA began offering programs in the Abu Dhabi Film School and it looks forward to helping to establish it as the center for film education in the Middle East. Periodically they are offering special workshops in diverse locations around the world. These have included Tokyo, Seoul, Rome, Bilbao, Budapest, Sardinia, Portugal, Nigeria, and Spain.
