The photographer and cinematographer Wolfgang Suschitzky shot some 50 short films, most of them documentaries. A classic among these is the railway film Snow (1963), employing monochrome and colour, and directed by Geoffrey Jones for British Transport Films. Just eight minutes long, it is indeed short, and stunning, and marked a high point for the organisation, whose work continued until the 1980s.

Suschitzky’s grandson, Adam, is also a cinematographer.
