Kodak se reúne com as Escolas de Cinema
de Cingapura

Kodak recently hosted a luncheon with four film schools in Singapore, including Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Tisch School of the Arts Asia, LASALLE College of the Arts, and Nanyang Technological University. This was the first gathering of such a contingency.

Through Kodak's educational initiatives, the four film schools receive ongoing support in the form of film stock, discounts, presentations and seminars, reference material, and an always-open door for advice and information about Kodak products and services.

"We are honored to be able to offer our support to these film schools who are nurturing the next generation of filmmakers," says Kodak's Yu Jin. "We hope this event presented networking opportunities for the schools involved, and offered substantial information through the sharing of experiences that will be mutually beneficial."

The Ngee Ann Polytechnic's School of Film & Media Studies (FMS) (www.np.edu.sg) was established in 1989. In 1999, FMS added an advanced diploma in film production to provide training in the art and craft of narrative filmmaking. Today, many FMS graduates have become household names and prominent professionals in radio and television production. Currently, there are about 900 students enrolled in the four full-time diploma programs of the school.

Founded in 1984, LASALLE College of the Arts (www.lasalle.edu.sg) is a leading contemporary arts education in fine art, design, media and performing arts in the Asia Pacific. LASALLE has been nurturing some of Singapore's leading creative practitioners. It is an accredited institution of The Open University, the United Kingdom's largest university. Globally, LASALLE is linked to over 40 cities. The current 2,300 student body consists of 30 percent international students, creating a diverse and conducive environment for the exchange of creative energy and critical dialogue.

Since its founding in 1965, Tisch School of the Arts at New York University has become one of the leading centers of academic and professional training in the United States. In 2007, the school opened the Tisch School of the Arts Asia (www.tischasia.nyu.edu.sg), and offers three master's degrees in animation and digital arts, dramatic writing, or film. The curriculum at Tisch Asia is based on the principles of great storytelling, and is identical to the curriculum offered at the school's campus in New York. At the completion of the program, students earn a prestigious New York University Master of Fine Arts degree.

Nanyang's School of Art, Design and Media (http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/adm) aspires to create thinkers and production-savvy visionaries who embrace innovation, exploration, experimentation, advancement of knowledge, and new production ventures in a range of creative fields. Currently, six Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees are offered. The four-year programs are designed to be relevant regionally and globally, and are structured to meet the highest professional standards worldwide. ADM provides students with the knowledge and tools to develop and produce ground-breaking creative works.
