Our guiding principle is to provide a safe, supportive environment for young people to explore the performing arts, whether they have dreams of entering the profession or simply wish to use the performing arts classes to learn some valuable life enhancing skills. Students are put in classes according to their age and follow a timetable of drama / film, dance and singing. Set and costume design provides an occasional alternative. This timetable is put in place to ensure that students become all round performers.

Founded in 1945, Pittsburgh Center for the Arts is a non-profit community arts campus that offers arts education programs and contemporary art exhibitions, providing services and resources for individual artists throughout Western Pennsylvania. The Center is where the community can create, see, support, and learn about visual arts.

Pittsburgh Filmmakers and the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts merged as a single cultural organization in 2006.

As a mission-based organization, we do our work because there is a community need. That need is always first when we make decisions and choose a course of direction but we are also keenly aware of our duty to be fiscally responsible and we take that very seriously. The combined PF/PCA is a well managed and financially sound cultural asset as is demonstrated by our adherence to our annually approved budget and prompt payment to all employees, government authorities, and vendors.

Filmmaking is fun and we firmly believe that classes about filmmaking should be fun as well.

No lectures here – the best way to learn is by doing. All of our classes are limited to 10 students or less and everyone is encouraged to “get their hands dirty”. Screenwriters will write, actors will act, and filmmakers will shoot films using our equipment.

We love filmmaking and are eager to help you learn the craft while you bring your own film dreams to life.

n 1988, a student revolt broke out in the film department of the Beit Zvi School of Art in Ramat Gan, then the sole film school supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Charging that Beit Zvi gave preference to the acting track, the film students demanded self rule. The Education Minister at the time, Yitzhak Navon established a public inquiry that supported the principles of the students’ position. He then decided to create an independent school for film and television, the first of its kind in Israel, to be directed by filmmakers.
After consulting the idea with mayors of different Israeli cities, the mayor of Jerusalem, Mr. Teddy Kollek, and Ruth Cheshin, president of the Jerusalem Foundation, saw a window of opportunity to “bring the ocean to Jerusalem”, in their words. They committed to match government funding, and in June 1989 it was decided that the new school will open in Jerusalem. In July 1989, Ruth Cheshin turned to film director Renen Schorr for a blueprint on establishing the school, set to open its doors in just four months at the start of the school year, November 1989.
The establishment of the school in Jerusalem, far from the center of the film industry in the Tel Aviv region, raised strong opposition from many filmmakers and production companies throughout the Israeli film industry, who claimed that a film school must be located close to the actual workplace of other cinematic activities.
