The AFI Campus and Facilities
Located in the hills overlooking Hollywood, AFI's wooded and intimate
eight-acre Campus is in close proximity to the heart of the professional
filmmaking community, with easy access to studios, networks and numerous
post-production facilities. Each year, film-makers and filmgoers converge on
Hollywood for 11 days in November for the AFI Los Angeles International Film
Festival. AFI FEST is held at the Arclight Cinemas, home of the recently
renovated historic Cinerama Dome. The AFI Life Achievement Award Tribute is
telecast from the Kodak Theatre in a new complex at Hollywood & Highland, where
the annual Academy Awards¨ are also held.
Warner Communications/Warner Bros. Building
The large, central Warner Communications/Warner Bros. Building houses a sound
stage, classrooms, screening rooms, production offices, computer labs and the
majority of AFI's administrative staff.
The Manor House
Located on the eastern edge of the Campus, the Manor House includes
Conservatory classroom space and production equipment storage, as well as the
offices of AFI FEST, AFI Screen Education and AFI New Media Ventures.
Louis B. Mayer Library
Housing unique reading, reference and research materials, the Louis B. Mayer
Library supports the AFI Conservatory curriculum and related programs. With its
extensive and historical collection of books, videos, DVDs, scripts and film
artifacts-including more than 14,000 books on various aspects of film,
television, video and cable, as well as on subjects such as photography,
theater and production design-the Library serves as a central Campus gathering
place. The Mayer Library also houses several special collec-tions: The Martin
Scorsese Collection, The Charles K. Feldman Collection, The Robert Aldrich
Collection, The Fritz Lang Collection, The Levinson/Link Collection and the
Sergei Eisenstein Collection. The Library building also houses the HBO
Pavilion, the Mark Goodson Screening Room, the Screen Actors Guild
Conservatory, the Frankovich-Barnes Screening Room and the AFI Enhanced
Television Lab.
Sony Video Center
The Sony Video Center houses AFI's post-production facilities, embracing the
entire spectrum of contemporary non-linear digital editing, including the
latest Avid Symphony editing systems networked by the Avid Unity media storage
system. Such advanced pro-fessional level technology is rare at educational
institutions.
