Facilities

At our comprehensive production facilities, students produce the equivalent of 25 feature-length films and television projects each year, nearly equal to the output of any major studio.

Whether they’re viewing a student film world premiere or enjoying a print of an old classic, students from all areas of the university can take advantage of the Frank Sinatra Hall, a renovated 365-seat theatre in the Eileen Norris Cinema Complex. Equipped with THX sound, the theatre is home to some of the school’s largest classes, including the historic CTCS 466: Theatrical Film Symposium taught by film critic Leonard Maltin. This complex also houses the Moving Image Archive, which serves as the repository for a broad selection of student, documentary, educational and feature films.
