The Research Film Studio is a Princeton University academic program seated in the University Center for Human Values. The Research Film Studio provides an opportunity for Princeton University faculty (Local Spirit Initiative) and students – inside and outside of the curriculum – to develop their research ideas through short films as well as other publications in immersive and mixed media and supports the project-based learning in the Founding Director’s Princeton courses. The Research Film Studio regularly invites award-winning film directors for intensive filmmaking workshops and produces exhibitions and films for global platforms such as the Venice and the Mallorca Biennale and film festivals. The production of exhibitions and films are made possible by grants from the University Center for Human Values, the Council of Humanities, the Bobst Center for Peace and Justice, the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination, CreativeX, the Princeton Histories Fund, and Bert G. Kerstetter ’66.
