Chantal Akerman
This May, QFT celebrates one of cinema's mavericks with a season dedicated to filmmaker Chantal Akerman, the first female director to take the number one spot on Sight & Sound's Greatest Films of All Time poll.
Chantal Akerman: Je Tu Il Elle
Chantal Akerman’s debut feature revealed its maker to be a radical and uncompromising force in cinema.
Chantal Akerman: Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles
Voted the greatest film of all time in the 2022 Sight and Sound Critics’ poll, Chantal Akerman’s chamber epic is a key entry in her prolific body of work.
This desolate musing on the elusive nature of home exquisitely juxtaposes New York’s lonely, empty streets with letters from ‘a distant voice’, Chantal Akerman’s mother.
A quasi self-portrait that was unfairly neglected on its release, this road movie is a profound musing on loneliness, displacement and the long shadow of the war.
Chantal Akerman’s final film is her most forthright and fragile portrait of her relationship with her mother and a searing companion piece to Jeanne Dielman.
