LONDON ENGLAND
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, or the sleek new financial center of the revitalized Docklands with its ultra-modern railway system, London stands out as a city on the creative edge.
The more traditional sites: Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Regent's Park, and the British Museum still awe their visitors.
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 there, 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. |
BLOOMSBURY
Bloomsbury is one of London's most attractive neighborhoods with an extrordinary array of elite institutions including the British Museum, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and the University of London. The area has long been a mecca for artists, most famously the Bloomsbury Group which included Virgina Woolf, and more recently Damien Hirst. Charles Dickens' Bloomsbury abode is now home to the Dickens Museum.
Bloomsbury is extremely convenient to all areas of London and is served by numerous tube stations: Euston, Euston Square, Goodge Street, Warren Street, Tottenham Court Road, Russell Square and King's Cross St. Pancras. The mainline rail stations Euston, King's Cross and St. Pancras are all located on the northern edge of Bloomsbury.
