AFI Collaborates With UNO Film Program
The Film Program at the University of New Orleans is in its third year of collaboration with the American Film Institute. AFI instructors visit the UNO campus throughout the year to conduct workshops in various fields related to film production, from directing and screenwriting to cinematography and art direction. This kind of collaboration with a university film program is unique in both the AFI’s and UNO’s history. It began as an effort by the AFI to assist in rebuilding UNO’s Film Program following Hurricane Katrina. Although the Film Program has now returned to its pre-Katrina strength, the partnership with AFI continues, built upon the relationship developed between the faculties and students of the AFI and the Department of Film, Theatre and Communication Arts at the University of New Orleans.
