Hands-On Filmmaking and Acting Programs
NYFA’s study abroad programs in Filmmaking and Acting for Film offer adventurous, ambitious students the chance to broaden their horizons as they develop their identity as artists. By studying at one of NYFA’s international locations, students immerse themselves in a truly cross-cultural educational experience and challenge themselves academically and artistically while building a network of other creatives from around the world.
Through our innovative curriculum and methodology of learning-by-doing, students build vital skills in communication, collaboration, and visual storytelling. This process also helps students develop essential transferable skills. In our programs, students focus on creating short films and video content for their reels.
NYFA offers study abroad programs available at our NYFA Florence and NYFA Australia campuses, as well as satellite locations in Paris and Beijing and Greater China.
