ABOUT THE SERIES:

Throughout the 1970s, Chantal Akerman quietly revolutionized the European cinematic style and narrative form, transforming its patriarchal canon and forging an immortal legacy of personal filmmaking. From the intimacies of her own life (JE, TU, Il, ELLE), and fictional renderings of her personal restlessness (LES RENDEZ VOUS D’ANNA), to the blaring landscapes of New York City (HOTEL MONTEREY, NEWS FROM HOME) Akerman fearlessly doted on her vulnerabilities to create staggering explorations of alienation.

At only 25 years old – younger than Orson Welles when he made CITIZEN KANE – she was catapulted into arthouse stardom for her meticulous observation of a middle-aged widow’s domestic routine (JEANNE DIELMAN, 23, QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES). Akerman’s work exists in a league of its own and the American Cinematheque is thrilled to honor her legacy.
