It’s time for the Winter screening of the 2009 New York Film Academy Documentary Film Festival - a showcase of thesis work from our graduating Documentary students. And you’re invited!
Visit the other side of Hawaiian paradise. Follow an unsuspecting pit bull into “the system.” Declare war on the American film business. Or, on pretty much everything in Holland. Kick it with refugees using soccer to find their place in the melting pot. And with the 21st Century Pirates who’ve suddenly become the 3rd largest party in Sweden. And wrap it all up with a couple of rounds of good, old-fashioned, intergenerational male bonding: the first involving a father, a son and a tattoo. And in the second, a grandson whose birth occasioned a national celebration and the running of the bulls through the streets of Panama tries to reconnect with his grandfather, a deposed General that America refuses to set free, years after everyone agrees his sentence has been served.
It’s all in a night’s work for the unique, young voices of NYFA’s Documentary Filmmaking School Department, who’ve combined the art of storytelling with the craft of filmmaking to recount a rich variety of remarkable true tales.

Earning your Bachelors in something you love in less then three years in Hollywood Los Angeles is not a dream anymore thanks to the New York Film Academy and the University of Greenwich, London.
High school graduates who are interested in earning their Bachelors of Arts in Filmmaking or Acting will find the well-rounded and comprehensive Bachelor’s program of the New York Film Academy a very rewarding experience. During your three year’s of study each filmmaking student will write, shoot, direct, and edit ten film projects of increasing complexity. In addition they will work in key crew positions on their classmates’ films, over thirty films in total.
During the Bachelors in Acting program each student will perform in films, television, and live theater, developing professional skills and a graduate with a reel that displays their on-camera work.

If you are considering enrolling in film school, one of the best ways to determine which film schools to consider is to ask current students and alumni. Getting first had experiences from students who have taken the course and attended the film school you are interested in is extremely helpful in the decision making process.
If you do not personally know of a film school student then you will want to do some research online. The problem is actually finding this information online. Real student reviews and film school ratings are rare. There are very few websites where film schools are rated and students given the chance to review their school. The most accurate, complete and honest website I found was Film School Exposed. I also found that there are dozens of schools with Facebook pages that are very active with student comments.
Before you apply to any film school be sure to do two things 1) Get student feedback, comments, reviews…etc. for the program you are applying for. The key here is the program you are applying for. 2) Tour the school. Be sure to visit it during school hours and sit in on a class you would take. If you can do these two things, I promise you that deciding where to go to film school will be much easier. Good luck!
