Jeremy Moss (born 1978; Saint George, UT, United States) is a Pennsylvania-based filmmaker, educator, and curator from the American Southwest.
Moss was trained in independent narrative and documentary filmmaking and his recent films take shape in surrealist and lyrical forms. Much of Moss’ work reacts to his upbringing in Utah, a dramatic desert terrain colonized by a culture that mandates normativity. As a result, he approaches his films agnostically knowing that there is no one true standard, genre, mode, or moving image technology. With a constant attention to movement, his films insist on fluidity, betweenness, transgression, and a sensory resistance to fixedness and standing still.
Moss has screened his work at a range of prominent film festivals and venues, including Edinburgh International Film Festival, Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival, CROSSROADS, Anthology Film Archives, Microscope Gallery, Northwest Film Forum, Microscope Gallery, Basement Films, and TIFF Lightbox.
He co-founded the Gleaners Film Festival in 2022, a community-oriented showcase of non-normative films, and he programs for the Moviate Underground Film Festival. Moss is an Associate Professor of Film and Director of the Film and Media Arts Program at Franklin & Marshall College. His films are distributed by Light Cone.
