California State University, Northridge – Department of Cinema and Television Arts

Through its excellent and nationally-recognized programs, CSUN’s Department of Cinema and Television Arts prepares and inspires our diverse and creative students to make a powerful and lasting impact on Los Angeles and beyond as leaders in the cinematic arts. Students provide important new voices and perspectives to industry entities working to diversify their storytelling.

For 27 years, the GGF has supported the department, providing scholarships, senior film project support, and institutional support to benefit students largely from diverse, working- class backgrounds, literally making the difference between artistic aspiration and the actual fulfillment of dreams.

Students create their art in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Wing of Manzanita Hall, where GGF support provides the latest technology in the film & TV stages, ADR-Foley studio, surround sound mix studio, edit labs and suites.The wing also contains an LED Volume Wall and a one of a kind GGF-supported film poster art gallery of historic Golden Globe winning films.

The Golden Globe Foundation 2023-24 grant supports (8) high-end capstone senior film productions. Recent senior film projects have been recognized by the DGA Student Film Awards, PBS SoCal Fine Cut show, the BAFTA Student Film Awards, and the Student Academy Awards.
