The
UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (
UCLA TFT), is one of the 11 schools within the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It is located in
Los Angeles, California. Its creation was groundbreaking in that it was the first time a leading university had combined all three (
theater,
film and
television) of these aspects into a single administration. The
graduate programs are usually ranking within the top 3 nationally, according to the
U.S. News & World Report. Among the school's resources are the
Geffen Playhouse and the
UCLA Film & Television Archive, the largest university-based archive of its kind in the world, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2015. The Archive constitutes one of the largest collections of media materials in the United States — second only to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Its vaults hold more than 220,000 motion picture and television titles and 27 million feet of newsreel footage.
