Abigail Honor is a director, filmmaker, and creative director based in New York. Her work spans film, immersive media, and museum installations, and includes projects exploring Jewish history, identity, and culture—such as exhibitions on Jews in Hollywood, Jewish American life, and the repression of Jews in the Soviet Union.

She has created media for major institutions including the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow and Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, and has collaborated with the Genesis Prize and the Joseph Brodsky Foundation on projects highlighting Jewish intellectual and cultural legacy.

Among the company’s producing credits is “The Disappearance of Josef Mengele,” directed by Kirill Serebrennikov, which premiered as part of the Official Selection at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Based on the bestselling book by Olivier Guez, the film chronicles the postwar fugitive life of Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele—the infamous “Angel of Death” of Auschwitz. It explores his decades-long evasion of justice in South America, as well as the psychological disintegration of a man haunted by his crimes and fading into historical oblivion.

Born in Willaston, Cheshire, between Liverpool and Manchester, Abigail earned a degree in Fine Arts from Newcastle University in 1996 and received her Master’s in Cinematography from Boston University in 1999.
