Peitz initially worked as a journalist for the Berliner Zeitung, the Leipziger Volkzeitung and other German publications as well as English language newspapers.

Her music documentaries have been viewed throughout the world at film festivals and on numerous broadcast stations (e.g. YLE, Svt, NRK, NHK, EVT, Brava, RAI, SF).

[3][4][5][6][7] Her directorial work on Satiesfictions – Promenades with Erik Satie (WDR/Arte) earned her a nomination for the Grimme-Preis in 2016 and also received the ARD television programming award.

[8] ”Befitting its extraordinary subject, Anne-Kathrin Peitz and Youlian Tabakov’s brilliant film about the French composer and hardline agent provocateur Erik Satie aims at more than a standard life-and-works biography”, notes Philip Clark from Gramophone magazine.

[10] The film looks at Russian composers of the early twentieth century: The fates of young rebels such as Arthur Lourié, Nikolai Roslavets, Alexander Mosolov, Sergei Prokofiev and Leon Theremin or Arseny Avraamov reveal much about the early Soviet Union's cultural life, the hopeful and then tragic entanglement of art and politics to which so many artists fell victim during the First World War, the October Revolution, and the rule of Joseph Stalin.

Also in 2022, Peitz explored a new music trend called Neo-Classical with the documentary The Sound Weavers: Ludovico Einaudi, Hauschka, Joep Beving, Hania Rani.
