FILM SCHOOL - LONDON, ENGLAND
We are excited to offer our workshops including four and six-week filmmaking, four and one-week digital filmmaking and four and one-week acting for film.
London enters the 21st century with a reputation as the place to be. With an incredibly active theater and cinema culture, it is the ideal home for the New York Film Academy programs in England. In the midst of an exciting modern revival, London invites the developing artist to join in its bustling energy. With such new attractions as the Tate Modern, filled with the avant garde sculptures of Louise Bourgeois, and others, or the sleek new financial center, and revitalized Docklands with its ultra-modern railway system, London stands out as a city on the creative edge. The more traditional sites remain as well, of course: Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Regent’s Park, and the British Museum, to name but a few.
Britain has produced some of the greatest films and film talents in the history of the movies—great directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Powell, David Lean and actors like Lawrence Olivier, Charles Laughton, Vivien Leigh, Alec Guiness, Peter O’Toole, and Vanessa Redgrave.
Some of America’s greatest filmmakers have found England to be the best place to make their films; George Lucas made Star Wars there. Stanley Kubrick made most of his greatest films in England, including Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut. In London, New York Film Academy students will plunge headlong into this great tradition and try their own hand at filmmaking.
The great cities and sights of Europe such as Paris, Rome, and Berlin are easily reached from London. Students may want to schedule a longer stay in order to travel.
Students can receive college credits for attending the New York Film Academy Workshops at London. Please contact us for details.
