The Barry R. Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of media makers who bring their varied backgrounds and perspectives to the field. A school within Brooklyn College, Feirstein – with more than half of its student body composed of traditionally underrepresented groups – is part of a long history of inclusive education that has fostered successful careers for almost a century at what is today one of the most ethnically diverse public universities in the country.
Situated in a world-class facility at Steiner Studios – part of the largest film lot in New York – Feirstein is a collaborative-based program in which working with others lies at the core of students’ educational experience. The school is an integral part of the civic, urban, and artistic energy of New York.
Feirstein’s faculty, industry professionals, and staff are committed to educating students in the art and craft of filmmaking and storytelling in a hands-on, collaborative environment, enabling their authentic voices to emerge and facilitating a wide variety of careers in the industry.
The generous support of the Golden Globe Foundation establishes The GGF Feirstein Film Fellowships in furtherance of our shared goals of educating and cultivating new, diverse voices in cinema.
