co-director of the film „Meeting Gorbachev”. André Singer has had a long and distinguished career as both filmmaker and anthropologist. In the former capacity he originally worked for Granada Television in the UK making films for World in Action and Disappearing World. For the BBC, he founded the documentary series "Fine Cut" (which later became Storyville) where he met and worked as either an Executive or Producer with many leading filmmakers such as Jean Rouch; Fred Wiseman, D A Pennebaker and Vikram Jayanti, and where he first linked up with Werner Herzog by commissioning "Lessons of Darkness". The rest, as they say is history, and he has played a role subsequently on fourteen of Werner’s films. As an Executive Producer and through his company Spring Films in London, he worked on Josh Oppenheimer’s films "The Act of Killing" and "The Look of Silence". As a director he was awarded the Peabody and Emmy for his film "Night Will Fall", and last year completed an antinuclear film "Where the Wind Blew". As an anthropologist he completed four years in 2018 as President of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland.
