Suzie Léger

Suzie Léger is an Austrian-Canadian actress trained at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting Conservatory in New York and the Acting School Krauss in Vienna. She enjoys embodying characters who fight through with inexhaustible willpower, never give up and can also master their fate with humor. Her own Jewish family background also leads her to material that contributes a bit to coming to terms with the past, writing her own second narrative short film about the erased Jewish women artists under National Socialism. For her work to date, she received several awards at international film festivals (find the detailed list under Awards/Nominations), the Ö1 Talentestipendium, a START grant for media art, a prize for the best short film at the Women's Film Festival Vienna, and the main prize at the Now&After film festival in Moscow, as well as the Young Female Artist Award from Bildrecht GmbH.

Furthermore, Suzie is the founder of the punk rock band What Would Tilda Swinton Do and performed as its lead singer on the East Coast of the United States.
