Summer Film and Acting Camps
Web site: http://www.nyfa.com/summer_camp/index.html
Phone: (212) 674-4300
E-mail: film@nyfa.edu
In all New York Film Academy film camps, each student writes, shoots, directs and edits his or her own films. Film camp is designed for people with little or no experience in making films. The programs focus on the fundamental elements of visual storytelling that enable the participants to direct their own projects.
Our Acting for Film Camps are often integrated with our Filmmaking Camps, providing many one-of-a-kind advantages for the acting student interested in working in front of the camera. While the acting students are training, the film students are busy writing scripts and learning the technical aspects of directing. Whenever possible the acting students are given the experience of acting on a live set in front of the camera on the filmmaker’s shooting exercises and student film productions.
Majors and Degrees Offered
The New York Film Academy offers hands-on, intensive courses in filmmaking, acting for film, directing, producing, digital journalism in affiliation with NBC news, 3D animation, screenwriting, and film editing.

The New York Film Academy is proud to announce the opening of its newest branch campus in Madrid, Spain. The Academy in Madrid is located in the headquarters of “Mundo Ficcion," the film and television production unit of the media giant "El Mundo".

They can practice their favorite sports, enjoy a swim in a pool, play tennis, or simply sunbathe at the “Polideportivo Pradillo," an arena located directly in front of the campus.
