Born in 1912 into a Viennese publisher’s family of social democratic conviction, Wolfgang Suschitzky was an eyewitness to the 20th and 21st centuries, with a career spanning well over 70 years. The Garden Cinema and the ACF London present a dedicated mini-season to introduce you to the fascinating life and work of this humanist artist who kept his optimistic curiosity and generosity throughout his long life. With blockbusters such as Get Carter and The Small World of Sammy Lee to comedies such as Entertaining Mr Sloan and even a Short Film Programme, this season is a great opportunity to rediscover Suschitzky’s oeuvre !
Brigitte Mayr and Michael Omasta of Vienna-based publishers Synema, who have researched and written extensively on Wolf Suschitzky and worked on several books with him, will introduce each screening in the programme.
