In addition, students shoot and edit approximately a film per person each week. Films will be shot on 16mm film. All equipment, editing, class supplies, and film and processing costs are included in the NYFA workshop fee. Although the workshop's daily schedule is demanding, students will have time to explore Cambridge's wealth of attractions in organized evening and weekend activities. The town is adorned with cafes and restaurants, back street bookstores, and antique shops.
Students can relax by the river on the college lawns.
The student may punt along The Backs, taking in breathtaking landscapes of willow trees and meadows behind which the medieval stone buildings of the university rise majestically. Cambridge is a rich center for the arts. The city is home to independent cinema and theatre. The world-famous and fully restored Arts Theatre stages the University's Footlights Review, the training ground for such comedic luminaries as Peter Sellers and the Monty Python team. The wealth of live music venues reflects Cambridge's long-standing association with modern music, beginning with the formation of the pioneering rock band, Pink Floyd.
