Why New York is a Great Place to Study Film & Video

New York is like no other city—not only for its sheer size and vitality but also for its culture and its arts and entertainment scene. It is the home of film giants such as Woody Allen and Robert DeNiro, and of the largest television market in the country. It is also the base camp for nearly every major media outlet under the sun. New York has earned the nickname the “Cultural Capital of the World,” due in large part to its impact and influence on the small and the big screen.
