Two films for one admission! Celebrating Women Filmmakers
Friday, May 20 | 8 pm only
In I Don’t Belong Anywhere: The Cinema of Chantal Akerman, the filmmaker and her longtime editor and collaborator, Claire Atherton, look back at her more than forty films, from queer and feminist classics like Je, tu, il, elle and Jeanne Dielman to what would become her final feature, No Home Movie. Throughout, Akerman proves to be a canny and engaging commentator on her own incredibly important body of work. Marianne Lambert’s new documentary screens along with From the East, a feature-length experimental travelogue that Akerman filmed between East Germany and Moscow shortly after the collapse of the Soviet bloc. For Village Voice critic J. Hoberman, this “documentary bordering on fiction,” as the filmmaker herself has called it, is also a “purely cinematic monument in time and space,” and one of the best films of the 1990s.
