Talk:National Film and Television School

Reputation

"The school has enjoyed a reputation as one of the world's leading film schools, although whether this is true today is questionable."

This needs hella clarification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.217.107 (talk) 06:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Revision

I hope no-one minds - I've updated this page, much of which was directly pulled from the 'History' page of the NFTS website. I have also removed POV content (including one link). I have added a couple of links, and sections on Staff, Funding and Alumni, but there's definitely scope for a History section as well. A number of the currently blank wiki-links (e.g. Kim Longinotto) are big omissions IMO - would be great if someone could start articles on them. Will do myself if time allows...

Mission Statement

'Its mission statement is to: "make money from old rope."' This sound like a bit of vandalism to me. Please cite source or this will be removed. Catwizzle (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 14:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Recent Projects

Why has this project been singled out, and why is it given such prominence? This looks like self-advertisement. I will remove unless the contributor can justify its inclusion. Catwizzle (talk) 22:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Extension

Have spent the last few hours extending this article; I've added the history section and the members section, and cleaned up other parts. Enjoy! Adaircairell (talk) 17:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

John Bryce and others?

Just found this interview (with Matthew Jacobs) which mentions an important NFTS tutor, John Bryce:-

I will now try and include some of this in the article about Bryce but it seems there must be a lot of information missing about people who have taught at the NFTS. Maybe one way to put this right is if someone could start a list of former staff?

Royal College of Art, School of Film and Television

Is the Royal College of Art, School of Film and Television a former name of the National Film and Television School?

As...

• - I'm wondering why it redirects here, if it isn't a former name.
• - Why there's no mention of the former names of the filmmaking school, on the Royal College of Art or the National Film and Television School
• - And also because...

...a 37+ year old film was made at...

The Royal College of Art Film Department according to the BBC, and

The Royal College of Art (Department of Film & Television) according to the BFI Danstarr69 (talk) 12:53, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure it isn't. It should redirect to the RCA. Might be worth asking at the Humanities refdesk. DuncanHill (talk) 13:07, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

DuncanHill I was just posting these when you replied.

The suggestion for Danstarr69 to ask at Humanities refdesk looks reasonable; closing the helpme request. --Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 00:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
