Long esteemed as "an aural and visual poet", Susanne Rostock's filmmaking is a stunning 40 years of some of the most compelling documentaries of each decade. Her most recent film as director/editor, Sing Your Song, about Harry Belafonte's life as an artist and activist, was chosen to open the U.S. Documentary Competition section of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, where it was described as a story "told with a remarkable sense of intimacy, visual style and musical panache". This film continues to be in worldwide theatrical distribution and television broadcast and has aired on HBO. Sing Your Song received top honors in festivals around the world, was shortlisted for an Oscar, and garnered the NAACP Image Award and a Gracie for Outstanding Director.

Rostock has achieved recognition for her editing on a myriad of films that continue to endure and resonate. Her films have earned Emmy's, IDA awards, Cable Ace awards, a Gold Hugo and acknowledgement from multiple national and international festivals, had theatrical distribution and aired on either HBO or PBS. Her 20-year multi-award winning collaboration as editor with director Michael Apted has produced such richly provocative films as: The Long Way Home; Incident At Oglala; Me & Isaac Newton; Moving The Mountain.

Susanne is presently engaged in directing and editing the documentary Between Starshine and Clay: The Hidden Diary of Diahann Carroll, co-directed by Suzanne Kay and Executive Produced by Serena and Venus Williams.

Susanne studied anthropology and ethnographic filmmaking with Margaret Mead at Columbia University and received an MFA in Filmmaking from New York University. She resides in New York City.
