Timeline
Member of the 'Official Competition' jury at the 28th Venice International Film Festival in 1967.
Born in New York City, raised in Arizona and California, educated at the University of Chicago, Harvard, Oxford and the Sorbonne, Susan Sontag constitutes a veritable challenge for any biographer. A novelist, philosopher, essayist, movie director and playwright, over the past thirty years she has been a controversial figure, too snobby for many of her critics, but always ready for a veritably "down to earth" engagement wherever and whenever human free expression is at stake (Vietnam, communist China, Bosnia). Among her essays, which are by far her most complete aesthetic achievement, many are devoted to Film, either to single movies (like Bergman's "Persona", Godard's "Vivre sa vie", Syberberg's "Hitler, a Film from Germany", but also Chaplin's "The Dictator" and Kubrick's "Doctor Strangelove"), directors (Robert Bresson, Jean-Luc Godard, Leni Riefenstahl), or genders (Science Fiction). Her own films are deeply inspired by modernist style. The first two, Duet for Cannibals (1969) and Brother Carl (1971), both shot and produced in Sweden, bear clear influences of Bergman's reflections about the impossibility of human communication.
She was awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for the book "On Photography" published in (1978).
Longtime companion of photographer Annie Leibovitz (from the mid 1980s until Sontag's death).
Per un viaggio in Italia: Letter from Venice (1984) is an elegiac documentary of a mental tour of melancholia, while "Promised Lands" is a shocking documentary about Israel/Palestine that managed to outrage both the pro-Israelis and the pro-Palestinians at the time of its release in the mid 1970's.
She served as President from 1987 to 1989 of the American Center of PEN.
Spent much time in Bosnia during the 1990s. She directed "Waiting for Godot" in a theatre in bombed Sarajevo.
Won a National Book Award (2000) for her novel "In America."
Received the "Prince of Asturias" Award for Letters in 2003.
She is interred at "Cimiterie Montparnasse" in Paris, France located in [Plot: Division 2, Section 2, 1 East, 28 North, concession number 3PA2005].
