Robb Moss is an independent non-fiction filmmaker whose work has been shown at the Telluride Film Festival, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Cinéma du Réel, Paris. He has won two regional fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, traveled to Africa under a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and received fellowships and production grants from the Artists Foundation (Massachusetts) and MassProductions. He has shot films in Ethiopia, Liberia, Greece, Mexico, Hungary, Japan, Turkey, Nicaragua, and the Gambia. Many of these films, on such subjects as famine, genocide, and the large-scale structure of the universe, have been broadcast nationally.
His cinematography abroad became
the basis for his own film, “The Tourist.” Other work includes
“Africa Revisited” (the tension within an interracial group
of Americans working in West Africa), and “Riverdogs” (a month-long
trip down the Colorado River some twenty years ago). ”Riverdogs”
is the foundation for a current film project about the onset of adulthood,
for which he was awarded a 1999 Massachusetts Media Fellowship.
Moss is serving his third term on the board of directors for the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers.
