Note: An excellent source of practical information on many of the above programs (as well as others not listed here) is
Film School Confidential: The Insider's Guide to Film Schools by Karin Kelly and Tom Edgar (New York, 1997), a Perigee Book published by The Berkeley Publishing Group; Tom Edgar maintains a site of on-line updates of the text. Also, for frankly worded appraisals of various film schools, you can check the Library of Annotated Film Schools on filmmaker.com.
