Tisch Special Programs kicked off the fall semester with events highlighting three of our spring study abroad programs.
Here’s a recap in case you missed them:

Students who participate in this program not only receive primary training with world-class actors, they are also a part of the FIND Festival at the internationally-renowned Berlin Schaubühne and attend plenty of live theatre. At the end of the semester, they stage a final presentation of the devised works they’ve created in the Brechtian tradition.

We hosted the first in our #TISCHTRAVELS Film Series on September 13. This series of screenings highlights student work created in our international film production programs. Our first screening was a showcase of films from 35mm Visual Storytelling at FAMU in Prague.
Associate Arts Professor Rick Litvin talked to students about the sync-sound film projects they work on and the rare opportunity to shoot 35mm film. Working with celluloid was discontinued at Tisch in 2003, so this program gives undergraduate Film & Television majors the opportunity to use filmstock instead of shooting in digital.
