The undergraduate programs of Audiovisual Communication and Journalism, and the Dual Bachelor’s in Audiovisual Communication & Journalism at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche have begun conversations about establishing joint projects with the New York Film Academy (NYFA) at its location in Amsterdam.

The Audiovisual Communication coordinator, Begoña Ivars Nicolás, along with its coordinator of projection, Montserrat Jurado Martín, met with Devin Crowley, the creative director of New York Film Academy Amsterdam, to specify proposals for various activities between both institutions through either a collaboration or specific framework agreement.

Among the proposals for activities include one- or two-week workshops for UMH students at that European location as well as the possibility of the NYFA creative director lecturing or participating in a conference on the Elche Campus.

A framework collaboration agreement would enable students enrolled in the aforementioned programs to take advantage of official NYFA training, as well as receive assistance regarding travel, stays, and travel visas where applicable.

The NYFA is one of the world’s most emblematic film schools, and focuses primarily on filmmaking. However, it also provides specialized training in photography, lighting, documentaries, video games, interpretation, graphic design, television journalism, as well as film and television productions.

The NYFA has campuses in Los Angeles and New York, in addition to facilities in Miami, the Gold Coast (Australia), Florence, Paris, at Harvard University, and others elsewhere. It offers all kinds of training, ranging from short seminars, one-year programs, to accelerated three-year undergraduate programs, such as its Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies in Los Angeles and its Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in both Miami and Los Angeles.
