New York City Opens First Public Graduate Film School

Mayor Bill de Blasio joined City University of New York Chancellor James Milliken, Media and Entertainment Commissioner Cynthia López, Barry R. Feirstein and other elected officials earlier today to open the doors to the Brooklyn College Barry R. Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema. The Feirstein School, which welcomes an inaugural class of 69 students this fall, is the only public graduate school in the nation integrated into a working film lot, Steiner Studios (located in the Navy Yard area of Brooklyn), and is the first public graduate school of cinema in New York City.
