Erika A. Kiss is the Founding Director of the UCHV Film Forum and Research Film Studio at Princeton University. The UCHV Research Film Studio offers an opportunity for Princeton University students (via the Campus Productions and the Film School) and faculty (via the Local Spirit Initiative) to expound their scientific and scholarly research in short films, interactive, immersive and mixed media productions and supports the students’ coursework for Kiss’s studio classes. The Research Film Studio regularly invites award-winning film directors to teach filmmaking workshops. In spring 2023, the Research Film Studio has launched its first intensive film school for Princeton students. Erika A. Kiss’s work is supported by Sabi, a mixed-media designer and Kim Girman, assistant director.
