About

An anthropologist and filmmaker, Noam Osband's prior work includes co-producing, co-editing, and filming "Sobresalir," a documentary about immigrant parents’ navigating the American public school system. He won the Penn Dean’s Award for New Media which allowed him to build his own version of Errol Morris’ Interrotron and complete principal photography for a short about Baruch Marzel, a prominent radical Israeli settler. His first feature length documentary, "Adelante," a film about Mexican immigration to a historically Irish Catholic church outside of Philadelphia, will air later this year on PBS in Philadelphia.

Recently, he began shooting a feature-length documentary about Mexican guest workers in the southeast United States, a film that will serve as his dissertation for his PhD in anthropology. This will be the first documentary film ever submitted for a PhD at the University of Pennsylvania.
