New York Film Academy

The Academy was founded in 1992 on a belief that a top qualify education in filmmaking should be accessible to anyone with the drive and ambition to make films. The New York Film Academy is a unique educational institution, devoted to providing the most focused filmmaking, acting, and animation instruction in the world. Their workshops offer a rigorous, hands-on experience that gives students the opportunity to expand their creative skills to the fullest extent possible.

New York Film Academy courses balance the study of the art form with practical experience, in order to train students to be the best filmmakers, actors or animators they can be. The subject is taught through a balance of classroom instruction, hands-on workshops, and immediate experience. Indeed, from day one, students are behind the camera, performing in a scene, or creating a 3-D model-- learning by doing.

New York Film Academy students are not lost in large classes. As an explicit policy, the Film Academy limits class size, making individual attention and interaction among students and instructors possible. All students are encouraged to meet faculty one-on-one for consultation throughout the workshop.

The New York Film Academy believes that the correct path for filmmakers is to immediately start making their own films in a hands-on intensive working environment.

The Academy opened its doors in 1992 in Robert DeNiro‘s Tribeca Film Centre. Since that time they have grown into facilities in Manhattan‘s Union Square and Soho and also opened a Film Academy at St Catherine's College in Oxford, England.
