Learning Outside the Princeton Curriculum
The student chapter of the Research Film Studio grew out of an extracurricular filmmaking workshop co-taught by the award-winning director, Bence Fliegauf and Princeton professor, Erika A. Kiss in the fall of 2019. Our first project was a short historical film about the 1914 November 12 White House meeting between President Woodrow Wilson and William Monroe Trotter in which the President inadvertently blurted out that he knows and approves of the segregation of the federal workforce, the civil servants.
The University Center for Human Values offers individual travel grants to Princeton University undergraduate students who are working (or have worked on) the Research Film Studio’s various projects. The aim of the grants is to allow students to visit the exhibitions to which they have contributed and help create and assemble new exhibitions in the 2025 Venice and Mallorca Biennales.
