[citation needed] As a director, Singer has made many award–winning films, including the Strangers Abroad series, Khyber, Night Will Fall, Where the Wind Blew, Meeting Gorbachev with Werner Herzog, and Witchcraft Among the Azande.

[1] In television he has worked for several broadcasters, serving as Commissioning editor for Discovery Channel, Europe; Senior Vice-President for Alliance Atlantis; and heading the Independent Documentary Unit at the BBC.

[3] He has been responsible in an executive or producer role for hundreds of documentary productions for cinema and television, including the Oscar-nominated Prisoner of Paradise (directed by Malcolm Clarke); Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine (Vikram Jayanti); the Emmy Award nominated City 40 (Samira Goetschel), and the International Critics Award-winning film The Wild Blue Yonder (Werner Herzog).

An earlier film, Night Will Fall (2014), a documentary about the Holocaust that incorporates material made by the British Government in 1945, is described by Stephen Fry as "incredibly dark, deep, disturbing, shocking and brilliant".

Singer was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to anthropology and the documentary film industry.
