Noah Teichner (1987, USA) is a filmmaker, artist, and researcher based in Paris. In his films, installations, and performances, he often reworks collected and archival materials to experiment with creative forms of historiography across old and new media.
His feature-length essay film Navigators (2022) was made at the artist-run film lab L’Abominable. It had a theatrical release in France in 2023 and has screened internationally at venues and festivals such as the Centre Pompidou, ICA London, Light Industry, Svenska filminstitutet, Cinéma du Réel, and Archivio Aperto.
As a film and media historian, his fields of research include comedy and popular entertainment, film technology, sound studies, and media archaeology. His current project Comedy Objects mixes historical research with speculative fiction to think about comedy workers in the United States during the Great Depression.
He is Assistant Professor of Film Studies at the American University of Paris and an associate member of the research center ESTCA (Université Paris 8).
