Regarding Susan Sontag in production

arwen — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:33:09 +0000

In January 2009, Regarding Susan Sontag entered production. The project team headed for Paris, London, and Johannesburg to film interviews with friends and colleagues of Susan Sontag. The journey began in Paris, where Nancy Kates and Veronica Selver spoke with filmmaker Noel Burch, Dominique Bourgois, and Monique de Rothschild. In South Africa, Nobel Laureate Nadine Gordimer shared recollections of her friendship with Sontag. The team spoke with abstract painter Sir Howard Hodgkin and opera critic Anthony Peattie in London. The project must raise more funding before we continue with U.S. production.
