CS50

NYU's Department of Cinema Studies enters its fiftieth year with an eye on the future. Our faculty and students study moving pictures in all their forms, from the flickering images that appeared on the movie screen at the turn of the twentieth century to the animated gifs that show up on the smart phones of the twenty first. We are a devoutly internationalist bunch, strongly rooted in the diverse arts cultures of New York City. Please join us in a year of celebration, with an event roster that recognizes past achievements and highlights how we have continued to expand and evolve.

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Cinema Studies Department with a gift in support of the Robert Sklar Memorial Scholarship Fund which supports undergraduate recipients in the Cinema Studies Department and graduate recipients in the Moving Image Archiving & Preservation Program.
