長期觀察華人電影發展的紐約電影學院(New York Film Academy)副總裁暨國際部顧問Kitty Koo接受本刊專訪時表示,台灣若要成功發展電影產業,目前最缺乏的,其實就是發展電影產業的人才。

The American film industry has a 150 year history and possesses a comprehensive supply and value chain. The New York Film Academy (NYFA) is renowned for providing hands-on learning experiences. One of the main reasons for its successful track record of attracting and grooming outstanding movie-making professionals lies in the institution's “Learn by Doing” mentality. In this innovative learning environment, students have access to the newest, most intensive, and most practical movie-making knowledge, which differs from other institutions that only provide lessons in theory.
美國電影產業發展已有150年歷史,擁有完整產業供應鏈與價值鏈,紐約電影學院即是著重電影實作經驗的最重要代表,它能夠吸引並培育優秀的電影人才就讀,主要在於「從作中學」(Learn by Doing)的思維,在創新學習環境中,讓學生獲得第一手、最密集以及最實用的電影知識,而非其他電影學院通常只提供理論練習。

NYFA currently operates workshops in Paris, London, Los Angeles, Brazil, India, Africa, China, Australia, and various Southeast Asian countries. At present, the academy is exploring collaboration possibilities with Taiwan's I-Shou University, Taipei National University of the Arts, and National Taiwan University of Arts.
紐約電影學院目前在包括巴黎、倫敦、洛杉磯、巴西、印度、非洲、中國及澳洲和東南亞等地都設有workshop,目前也在和台灣的義守大學、北藝大和台藝大洽談合作的可能。
