Description: The New York Film Academy is a unique educational institution, devoted to providing the most focused filmmaking, acting, and animation instruction in the world. Our film school's workshops offer an intensive, hands-on experience which gives students the opportunity to develop their creative skills to the fullest extent possible.

In the creation of our curriculum, we worked with students and faculty from around the world to develop the most comprehensive and intensive programs of all the leading film schools. We adapted the best ideas and elements from film schools with leading degree programs and designed alternatives which provide a thorough grounding in either filmmaking, acting, or animation and are also flexible in meeting the diverse needs of our students.

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. Our acting animation and film schools believe in learning by doing.

New York Film Academy's Mission Statement: The New York Film Academy was founded in 1992 at Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Film Center and has since expanded into a global educational force in filmmaking and acting for film. The Academy was founded on a belief that a top quality education in filmmaking should be accessible to anyone with the drive and passion to make films. The New York Film Academy was designed for a new generation of filmmakers, screenwriters, actors, producers, and animators who share a passion for motion pictures and want to learn by making their own projects in a hands-on, intensive program. The many different programs of the New York Film Academy share a philosophy that balances in-class instruction by award-winning filmmakers with an intense exploration of the medium through practical, hands-on work.
