Long esteemed as “an aural and visual poet”, Susanne Rostock’s filmmaking is a stunning 37 years of some of the most compelling documentaries of each decade. Her 20-year multi award winning collaboration as editor with director Michael Apted has produced such soulful and provocative films as: THE LONG WAY HOME, two years in the life of Boris Grebenshikov, the first Russian musician to receive an American record contract; INCIDENT AT OGLALA, “ a brilliant and thought provoking chronicle” of the events surrounding the questionable conviction of Leonard Peltier brought on by the murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge reservation; ME & ISAAC NEWTON, “an elegant and fascinating exploration” of the creative side of scientific endeavor; MOVING THE MOUNTAIN, “ a lucid, intelligent, unendurably sad” tale of the Tian’anmen Massacre told through the eyes of the students who were present. Over the years Susanne’s films have garnered Emmy’s, IDA awards, Cable Ace awards, a Gold Hugo and acknowledgement from multiple national and international festivals. Susanne’s visually compelling storytelling that speaks about determination and dreams, about the individual struggle for human rights is what has consistently distinguished her work. Her most recent film, SING YOUR SONG, “told with a remarkable sense of intimacy, visual style and musical panache” is an edgy, compassionate story of human struggle as seen through the prism of Harry Belafonte’s own reality. This film is further proof of Susanne’s life long dedication to the belief in the power of art to change the world.
