Born and raised in Vienna, Susanne joined Volkstheater, one of Austria’s most prestigious theatre institutions. After starring in many theatre productions, Susanne’s breakout leading role on screen was in Götz Spielmann’s ANTARES, which garnered her Best Actress nominations at Locarno Film Festival, Mar del Plata International Film Festival, and the Undine Awards.

In 2014, Susanne starred in the horror film GOODNIGHT MOMMY (ICH SEH ICH SEH), which premiered at Venice Film Festival to international acclaim. The film was nominated for a Critics Choice Award in the ‘Best Foreign Language Film’ category, and Susanne was nominated for ‘Best Actress’ at Angers European First Film Festival, Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema, and Stockholm Film Festival.

This October marks the official UK premiere of her latest film, THE SOUND OF FALLING, a powerful multi-generational drama set on a rural farm in Germany. The film follows four girls in different eras who live on or around the same farm over a century. Each girl has distinct struggles shaped by a historical moment, yet their lives are subtly intertwined by place, memories, trauma, and recurring motifs. Written and directed by Mascha Schilinski, the film premiered at Cannes earlier this year to rave reviews and a Jury Prize win. On 11th October, it premiered at the BFI London Film Festival and will later be released in the US via Mubi.
