‘Chantal Akerman: An American Cinematheque Retrospective’

This event has passed
  • RELEASED IN: 2006

  • DIRECTED BY: Chantal Akerman

ABOUT THE FILM:

In English and French with English subtitles.

Akerman spends a brief period on her own in an apartment by the sea in Tel Aviv. She takes the chamber play to its ultimate form: it is almost entirely chamber. She films from the apartment and in her narration she talks about her family, her Jewish identity and her childhood. She wonders whether normal everyday life is possible in this place and whether filming is a realistic option. Akerman does not film here with any intentions defined in advance. She wants to be as open and blank as possible to ensure that things take their own course.
