https://msfilmfestival.fi/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Susan_Seidelman-scaled.jpg25601707Director, producer, screenwriter and a respected teacher in her field, Susan Seidelman was born on 11 December 1952 in Abington, Pennsylvania, grew up in Philadelphia and studied fashion and the arts at the local Drexel University. Her move to New York would later form the geographical foundation for both her films and her identity. Cinephilia truly sparked through encounters at university with classics of the French New Wave and the Nordic dramas of Ingmar Bergman. European influences, including Lina Wertmüller and Agnès Varda, would continue to resonate strongly. Seidelman’s short film debut, And You Act Like One Too, a satirical story of a housewife’s ex-marital affair, already attracted well-deserved attention.
