This or That: Tisch or CAS Cinema Studies

Priti Ravani

Senior Assistant Director, NYU Admissions

NYUʼs two approaches to cinema studies are interdisciplinary programs. We focus on the history, theory, aesthetics, and criticism of film and other moving-image media. Both programs offer a lot to their students, such as an array of courses in the critical study of film that emphasize national and transnational cinemas. Students will also analyze filmmakers and genres, film technology and industries, and cinema’s relation to the other arts. In other words, youʼll dive deep into film analysis. Learn more about the programs below!

Tisch—BA in Cinema Studies

As a student in Tisch’s Department of Cinema Studies, you will focus on the history, theory, and criticism of motion pictures and related media. Students take a theoretical, interdisciplinary approach to cinema—as well as TV and new media—as both an art form and a form of mass culture. This program is great for students interested in criticism, archiving, producing, or other nontechnical careers in the field. This curriculum is very much an opportunity to go behind the scenes of the film world.

You’ll spend four years taking a mixture of courses in the Department of Cinema Studies, various Tisch departments, and other schools at NYU. Outside of the Cinema Studies program, you will complete a sequence of liberal arts courses offered by Tisch and the College of Arts and Science Core Curriculum . In addition, Tisch students must declare a minor in a related area. Many students choose to minor in Producing, Journalism, or Business of Entertainment, Media, and Technology.

Artistic Review

Along with your application, you must submit an artistic review for the department to evaluate. This will be reviewed in addition to your application materials.

Part One— a five-to-10-page essay on a film, director, or any other moving image–related topic that you choose.

Part Two— a one-page statement that answers the following questions:

• Have you taken any cinema/media-related classes?
• What areas of cinema studies most interest you (film genres, directors, theory)?
• What are your career aspirations (film journalist, film curating, filmmaking)?

College of Arts and Science—BA in Cinema Studies

Our second Cinema Studies program, housed within the College of Arts and Science (CAS), bears similarities to Tisch’s program. The curriculum follows a liberal arts structure. Expressive Culture: Film is the introductory class that fulfills the expressive culture requirement and gives students a brief intro to cinema studies. It also provides students with an overview of intro-level film terminology. In addition, students complete the CAS Core Curriculum. Students in this program are not required to minor in another subject. Our Wasserman Center for Career Development will assist students in discovering jobs and internships in the field.

Neither an artistic review nor additional materials are needed for CAS applicants.

Student Involvement and Career Outcomes

NYU offers a vibrant environment for the study of film! Students can take advantage of a host internships and study abroad opportunities. They have access to screenings, extracurricular student organizations, and frequent talks by visiting scholars and filmmakers. Graduates of both programs pursue successful careers in teaching, journalism, screenwriting, multimedia, network television, and filmmaking. Delta Kappa Alpha , open to nonarts majors as well, is a professional, gender-inclusive cinematic fraternity. They make films, study cinema, host social events, and help each other find internships.

Ultimately, it will come down to what kind of experience you want! In Tisch you are surrounded by artists and have access to an arts-focused career center . Classmates intern at the Tribeca Film Festival, work with Martin Scorsese, and even intern at production houses like A24 . There are students interested in preservation and history. Some students choose to pursue PhD programs in Cinema Studies. In CAS the academic rigor of the core makes it a great place for those interested in pursing the academic path to film. Many students choose to double-major or continue their education with graduate programs as well.

To sum it up: regardless of which program you choose, NYU will be there to support you in your journey to success in an exciting, ever-changing field.

Cinema Studies (BA)

Program description.

The undergraduate program in Cinema Studies offers a liberal arts program that focuses on the study of cinema both as an art form and as a form of mass culture. The study of film as art is concerned with the relationships among film style, narrative form, and the material practices that shape the medium. The study of film as mass culture explores the ways in which film serves as an articulator of societal values and as a litmus for processes of social change. While American cinema is studied in depth, the cinemas of Europe, Asia, and South America are also a central component of the curriculum.

Graduates of the program can use their degrees in two ways: as a liberal arts degree akin to English or vocationally as preparation for professional careers. Students in the department are required to either combine their major in cinema studies with a minor in another discipline or double major in a second discipline. Graduates from our department have gone on to successful careers in archival work, teaching, journalism, multimedia, network television, and filmmaking. 

New York University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions supports the application process for all undergraduate programs at NYU.  For additional information about undergraduate admissions, including application requirements, see How to Apply .

Ciné-club is back! 

The graduate students of the Department of French Literature, Thought and Culture present the ciné-club: Open to those within the NYU community, the LMF ciné-club meets up once a month for a non-academic screening of a francophone movie. We want to share what we see, have seen, and want to see, on a bigger screen than our computers, and to bring together the Francophile and cinephile community of NYU at La Maison Française.

This semester, our club will present three movies centered around the theme "Sororité" . Wanna know how well the French do cinema? Join us for some snacks and a free screening! 

About the film:  À Ma Soeur ! (2000), Catherine Breillat

It is summer. Anaïs and Elena confront their sexual attitudes and experiences while on a family holiday at the French seaside. A tale of two sisters, À ma soeur is not only a portrayal of female adolescent sexuality and the complicated bond between siblings but also a merciless critique of male romantic discourse and machismo—a shocking assertion by the always controversial Catherine Breillat that violent oppression exists at the core of male-female relations.

WARNING: This film contains graphic sexual content and may be upsetting and/or offensive to some viewers.

Fusion Film Festival Honors Filmmaker Joanna Arnow and Producer Daniela Taplin Lundberg

Arnow is honored as Woman of the Year, while Lundberg will receive the Fusion Industry Visionary Award at a three-day event that includes screenings, discussions, and networking opportunities

The Fusion Film Festival, NYU Tisch School of the Arts’ student-run film festival celebrating women and nonbinary creators in film, TV and new media, will screen new works and host panels on showrunning, nonfiction filmmaking, and making work with social impact from April 10-13 at the Tisch School of the Arts, 721 Broadway in New York City.

The festival opens with an invitation-only luncheon April 10 honoring Daniela Taplin Lundberg, founder of Stay Gold Features, with the 2024 Fusion Industry Visionary Award. Over the next three days, the festival will screen two debut features—Joanna Arnow’s The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed and Tisch alum Annie Baker’s Janet Planet —before concluding with the screenings of finalists and an awards presentation.

“Fusion’s programming lineup this year offers unique opportunities to hear from cutting edge women leading both the creative and business side of our industry with events like our Brand Storytelling panel driving cultural change,” says Co-Director Rem Jie.

For 22 years, the Fusion Film Festival has focused on the women who are thriving in all corners of film and television.

“The festival inspires students—nonbinary, female, or otherwise—to be fearless in pursuing the stories that matter and to listen to diverse points of view,” says Shreeya Jayabharathi, another of the festival’s three co-directors.

Adds Co-Director Farah Qureshi, “I'm proud to be part of a mission that not only celebrates the work of student filmmakers, but also amplifies the voices of women and nonbinary creators in an industry that historically has been dominated by men.”

Joanna Arnow

Daniela Taplin Lundberg

Arnow, the writer, director and star of The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed is being honored for her debut feature, set for release April 26. The comedy-drama uses short scenes and innovative editing to tell the story of a disaffected Brooklynite. Variety described Arnow’s film as “raw, intimate, and most importantly, extremely funny.”

Lundberg is the founder of Stay Gold Features, an independent film finance and production company focused on championing singular visions and untold stories. Her credits include the upcoming Goodrich , starring Michael Keaton and Mila Kunis, Joe Bell starring Mark Wahlberg and Connie Britton, and Harriet , starring Cynthia Erivo, who earned an Oscar for her role.

Prior to founding Stay Gold, Lundberg produced more than 20 films, including Hello, My Name is Doris and the Golden Globe winner, The Kids Are All Right . Lundberg is host of the Hollywood Gold podcast and she serves on the executive board of the producers branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

“Daniela founded Stay Gold Features with the unwavering commitment to women behind the camera, women in positions of leadership, and stories of consequence and heart, without regard to risk or reading the marketplace” says Susan Sandler, Tisch film and TV professor and the festival’s faculty advisor. “Everything she represents in action, taste, and courage brings her into Fusion’s lens of hope for emerging filmmakers.”

Below is the schedule for the 2024 festival.  The events will be held in Tisch Theater 006 at 721 Broadway, unless otherwise noted. They are free and seating is first-come, first-served. This year’s festival is sponsored by Canon, Adobe, Final Draft, Avid, AbelCine, and Gotham Sound.

The First PhD in Cinema Studies

New york university news bureau.

For Immediate Release (Mailed 5/11/73)

The first doctoral degree in Cinema Studies to be awarded in this country will be conferred on a Yugoslavian scholar next month (Tuesday, June 5) by New York University. It marks a major step in the dream of specialists and scholars in film history, criticism and aesthetics to establish and gain recognition for their field as an academic discipline on a par with other graduate subjects, such as Drama, English, or History.

The Ph.D. in cinema will be awarded to Vlada Petric, 45, who came here three years ago from Belgrade as a Fulbright Scholar to pursue graduate studies in his specialty. At that time there were no opportunities for advanced study specifically in cinema in this country, and Mr. Petric would have gone to the Moscow State Film Institute in the Soviet Union to complete his doctorate.

“I really was surprised,” Mr. Petric says, “that in the country where film was born there was no serious study in film science.”

Then he met the late Prof. George Amberg, the first chairman of the new department of Cinema Studies at NYU’s School of the Arts who is credited with being the inspiration behind the doctoral program. It was with his help that the doctoral program won the approval of the State Board of Regents and, initially, the various committees at NYU’s Graduate School of the Arts and Science, which confers the degree.

Mr. Petric, who is on leave of absence from the Academy of Film, Theatre and Television in Belgrade, is currently a guest lecturer in theater arts at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Purchase, a visiting lecturer in the English department at SUNY, Buffalo, and a visiting professor, teaching film analysis, at Harvard, where he has just been offered the Luce Chair in Cinema to teach there next year.

Prof. Ted Perry, who succeeded Dr. Amberg as chairman of the department of Cinema Studies, says the School of the Arts is very pleased that the first recipient of the new doctorate is “obviously someone of outstanding qualifications.”

“The very awarding of the degree and the fact that he’s been offered the Luce Chair at Harvard are steps up the ladder in recognition for the new discipline,” he says.

“I waited so long for this program,” explains Mr. Petric, speaking of his graduate studies,” because my specialty is Soviet and American Silent Cinema, and the subject of my thesis is a comparison between the two.”

“I had a choice: to complete my competitive thesis in Moscow or here at NYU’s School of the Arts and Graduate School of Arts and Science. There were no other options for a serious student in this field.”

Many other students of film were also waiting for the nw program: 119 graduate students registered in the department last fall, 33 of them for the Ph.D. “That is why we’re all a little older,” says Mr. Petric. “We refused to complete our projects through other departments.”

“Starting the doctoral program in cinema was a very historic decision for NYU,” he adds, “because now it will serve as a source of highly educated specialists in film theory and history for film departments both here and abroad.”

Mr. Petric defended his doctoral dissertation, titled “The Impact of Silent Soviet Film and Film Theory on America,” on Wednesday, May 2, at a public oral examination attended by students, members of the faculty, the dean of the Graduate School of the Arts and Science, John K. Mayor, and several members of the Yugoslavian delegation here in New York.

The doctoral examining committee was composed of five distinguished film specialists: Annette Michelson, Mr. Petric’s doctoral adviser, a professor of cinema at NYU’s School of the Arts and editor of Art Forum; Lewis Jacobs, a well-known film historian and professor of cinema at NYU’s School of the Arts; Dr. Ted Perry, chairman of the department of Cinema Studies at NYU’s School of the Arts; Dr. Arthur Barron, a filmmaker and former head of the department of film at Columbia University, and Dr. Gerald O’Grady, head of the Media Center and professor of English at SUNY, Buffalo.

The School of the Arts, because of the depth of the existing graduate program, which also offers the M.A. degree, has developed an undergraduate curriculum in which Cinema Studies and is now offering the first full liberal arts program using film as its core that leads to a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree.

“This B.F.A. is not a degree in filmmaking,” emphasizes Professor Perry. “It is meant to use the motion-picture--its history, criticism, aesthetics--as a means of focusing the realities of life today and to help us learn how to live.

“We have found,” he continues, “that cinema has the advantage of being based on an art form that is a cross section of all the arts and humanities. It is not pure form, but one that is built up of literature, music, dance, poetry, drama, painting, sculpture, kinetic sculpture, history, philosophy, and psychology.

“One cannot truly be a student of films without having to experience all these other disciplines. A study of Jean-Luc Godard is an integrative one, which requires that we see Sartre in relation to Marx, Heidegger in relation to Marcuse, Merleau-Ponty in relation to Homer, Warhol in relation to Rimbaud.”
