YOU'RE INVITED TO OUR ANNUAL STUDENT SHOWCASE

The longest running and most established public film school in New York City, the MFA Program in Film at the City College of New York is a small, boutique two-year program focusing on independent filmmaking. We are a culturally diverse filmmaking community, with ready access to the finest talent, locations, and production facilities of New York City. Unlike other film schools, we equally emphasize documentary and fiction filmmaking genres as vehicles for original storytelling that reflects the human experience.

This year's festival features 10 short films, 7 fiction films and 3 documentaries, representing work by directors from countries including the U.S., United Kingdom, Colombia, Mexico, Nepal, Turkey and Thailand. Previous films from CCNY’s MFA program have gone on to win, in student categories, four Oscars, six Oscar nominations, as well as four Emmys. CCNY MFA films have also been invited to international film festivals including Sundance, Berlin, Edinburgh, Moscow, Munich, Venice, and South by Southwest (SXSW), and Cannes.
