The world’s most hands-on, international film and acting school, The New York Film Academy, is poised to hit Sydney at the end of this month when it opens a brand new campus in the heart of the city.
The state-of-the-art facility, currently undergoing final stages of completion on the corner of Pitt Street and Liverpool Street, is already taking enrolments for the government-accredited One-Year Acting and One-Year Filmmaking diploma courses, as well as short and evening courses, and will officially open its doors to students on Thursday 30 January.Luminaries such as Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese and Robert Downey Jr. have chosen to send family members to study at the school in the USA as well as its flagship Australian campus on the Village Roadshow Studios back lot on the Gold Coast.
“It’s exciting to offer our world-renowned programs in Sydney, expanding on our successful Queensland location. We look forward to fostering exceptional talent in our hands-on programs,” said Director of NYFA Australia, Simon Hunter.
The academy originally opened its doors (in Robert De Niro’s Tribeca Film Centre in NYC) with the philosophy that a top education in acting and filmmaking should be accessible to anyone with the drive and ambition to make films.
Courses are designed for a new generation of storytellers; visual and performing artists who share a passion for motion pictures and want to learn by making their own projects in a hands-on intensive program.
