In October 2015 the feminist and avant-garde film-maker Chantal Akerman took her own life at the age of 65. No Home Movie was her final film, a documentary still-life study of her elderly mother, Natalia (or Nelly) Akerman, a Holocaust survivor born in Poland. Akerman was extremely close to her mother and Nelly’s death undoubtedly contributed to the profound depression that led to Akerman’s suicide.

"Chantal Akerman's final film has almost unbearable poignancy and melancholy ..." - PETER BRADSHAW, THE GUARDIAN
