Remembering Professor Patricia Zimmermann

It is with great sadness and shock that we have been informed of the passing, earlier this month, of Patty Zimmermann, Longtime Professor of Screen Studies at Ithaca College.

Professor Zimmermann was the epitome of the teacher-scholar, with numerous honours and distinctions; and named in 2021 as the Charles A. Dana Professor of Screen Studies, in recognition of her significant contributions.

For the Interactive Film and Media Journal Board, and us here at the Interactive Filmmaking Lab, Patty has long been a source of knowledge, inspiration, and generous support. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her husband Stewart and son Sean.
