She made Manon de Boer her frst short flm, Saute ma ville (Blow Up Jem Cohen My Town, 1968), when she was just 18. Her frst Tacita Dean feature, Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, Chris Dercon 1080 Bruxelles (1975), established her reputation Joanna Hogg & Adam Roberts as a radical, feminist flmmaker. Over the next Sharon Lockhart four decades, in her native Belgium and the US — Rachael Rakes as well as in China, eastern Europe, Israel and Mexico, among other places — Akerman made over 40 documentary and feature flms; she also created installation and video art. The infuence her work has exerted is inestimable. Following her death, the director Todd Haynes dedicated the screening of his latest movie, Carol (2015), to Akerman at the New York Film Festival, stating that ‘as someone thinking about female subjects and how they’re depicted’ her work had changed the ways in which he thought about, and imagined, film. Over the following pages, nine filmmakers, curators and artists refect on what Akerman’s work meant to them.

Remake: Chantal Akerman's and John Smith's Plays on Reality
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES www.necsus-ejms.org Remake: Chantal Akerman’s and John Smith’s plays on reality Clara Miranda Scherffig NECSUS 5 (1), Spring 2016: 19–39 URL: https://necsus-ejms.org/remake-chantal-akerman-john- smiths-plays-reality/ Keywords: autoethnography, Chantal Akerman, hyperrealism, John Smith, materialist film, remake, structural film Introduction According to the Oxford Dictionary a remake is the action of making some- thing again or differently, as well as a film or a music piece that has been recorded again. The construction of Chantal Akerman’s News From Home (1976) and John Smith’s The Man Phoning Mum (2011) can be traced back to the same practice. For the purpose of this discussion I consider the concept of the remake in terms of its elements of repetition and the fundamental presupposition of a viewership. Both authors deal with a re-recording of a previous experience: Smith’s can be properly regarded as a filmic event, while Akerman’s is rather a personal one. The remake’s act of repetition at the basis of both films is found at different stages of the filmmaking prac- tice (in the conception stage for Akerman and during development for Smith, as will be detailed later). When considered within a broader debate on intertextuality the analogy with the remake offers a useful framework to understand the relationship of both films with the topic of reality as well as their link with ‘the infinite and open-ended possibilities generated by all the discursive practices of a [film] culture’.[1] Finally, the idea of the remake is here relevant for what it presupposes in terms of audience engagement; in order to exist a remake needs a spectatorship to acknowledge it as such NECSUS – EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES according to its intertextual legacies.[2] In light of such a mutual condition both films trigger crucial reactions in the viewer for their very unfoldment. -

UNIVERSIDAD DE CUENCA Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación Carrera de Cine y Audiovisuales La auto- representación y la comedia en el cine contemporáneo hecho por mujeres Trabajo de titulación previo a la obtención del Título de Licenciada en Cine y Audiovisuales Autora: Ana Cristina Franco Varea CI.1721587036 Director: Mag. Galo Alfredo Torres Palchisaca CI. 0101863595 Cuenca - Ecuador 20/09/2019 Universidad de Cuenca RESUMEN Este trabajo de investigación analiza la estrecha relación entre la comedia y la auto- representación femenina en el cine hecho por mujeres. Estudia el proceso de las narrativas, tanto en el área del feminismo vinculado al cine como en el de la comedia, hasta que ambas tendencias se juntan confluyendo en cuatro autoras audiovisuales contemporáneas: Lena Dunham, Malena Pichot, Phoebe Mary Waller-Bridge y Greta Gerwig. A lo largo de la historia del cine, la mayoría de personajes femeninos cómicos han sido creados por hombres; así como la mayoría de directores de comedia han sido hombres. Aunque ha habido pocas mujeres comediantes, sólo pocas han asumido la auto- representación para implantar una mirada propia en su discurso narrativo. La metodología utilizada fue la revisión bibliográfica relacionada con teoría feminista vinculada al cine así como la teoría sobre los orígenes de la comedia. También la observación y análisis de cuatro obras audiovisuales cada una perteneciente a las cuatro autoras elegidas. Las conclusiones a las que se llega permiten deducir que la comedia de mujeres es uno de los géneros más temidos por el imaginario masculino, pues permite hacer de la mujer un personaje real y humano y ya no un fetiche y/o ideal o fantasía masculina. -
Hummel De L'autre Côté
onlinejournal kultur & geschlecht #22 (2019) 1 H u m m e l De l‘autre côté An der Grenze zwischen Dokumentation und Fiktion: Migration als Diskursfeld in Chantal Akermans De l‘autre côté Hannah Hummel Nachdem sie ihren ersten Film Saute ma ville 1968 mit 18 Jahren veröffentlicht, lernt die in Brüssel geborene Chantal Akerman während eines New York Aufenthalts Anfang der 1970er Jahre Vertreter_innen der US- amerikanischen Filmavantgarde, darunter Stan Brakhage, Michael Snow und Jonas Mekas, kennen. Mit Hotel Monterey und La chambre aus dem Jahr 1972 sowie News from home von 1977 entstehen Strukturfilme, in denen die Kameraführung Vorgehensweisen aus dem minimalistischen Tanz übernimmt.1 1 Akerman arbeitet hierfür mit der Kamerafrau Babette Mangolte zusammen, die zur selben Zeit vornehmlich Aufführungen von Vertreter_innen des Judson Dance Theater sowohl fotografisch als auch filmisch dokumentiert. Die Schnittstelle des Werks von Akerman und der filmischen Arbeit Yvonne Rainers, die ebenfalls mit Mangolte kollaboriert, hebt Ivone Margulies hervor. Ihre Veröffentlichung Nothing Happens. Chantal Akerman’s Hyperrealist Everyday ist als erste und bisher einzige Monografie zu Akermans Œuvre 1996 erschienen und situiert Akermans Schaffen zwischen den Traditionen der von Peter Wollen aufgemachten zwei Avantgarden – der US-amerikanischen Avantgarde der frühen 1960er Jahre und der französischen Nouvelle Vague. Margulies begründet diese Einordnung in ihrer umfangreichen Werkanalyse unter anderem mit der Herausarbeitung des feministischen Narrativs -
The Multiple Faces of Chantal Akerman
Introduction: the multiple faces of Chantal Akerman One of Europe’s most acclaimed and prolific contemporary directors – critic J. Hoberman calls her ‘comparable in force and originality to Godard or Fassbinder … arguably the most important European director of her generation’ (Hoberman 1991: 148) –, Chantal Akerman is also one notoriously difficult to classify. The director came to promi- nence with Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), her minimalist portrait of a Belgian housewife and daytime prostitute which, overnight, brought the twenty-four-year-old interna- tional recognition and placed her at the centre of debates surrounding women’s cinema and feminist film-making. At its commercial release in 1976, the French daily Le Monde hailed the movie, which runs to a demanding 3 hours and 20 minutes in length, ‘le premier chef d’œuvre au féminin de l’histoire du cinéma’1 (Marcorelles 1976); the influential New York newspaperVillage Voice has since rated it among the one hundred best films of the twentieth century. More than thirty years on, Akerman has authored over forty films, straddling a wide range of genres – burlesque and romantic comedy, epistolary film, musical, experimental documentary, video installation – and embracing such diverse thematic concerns as coming of age and adolescent crisis, the construction of gender and sexual identities, wandering and exile, Jewish culture and memory. Strongly indebted to 1970s experimental film-making, she has gradu- ally ventured into more commercial cinema, but remains -

The figure of the young woman, played by Akerman, radically and violently disrupts the domestic space of her apartment, transgressing all of the domestic meticulousness later portrayed in elongated detail in Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles from 1975. Of all the films of Akerman that I have watched, this angry, young, singing woman returns to me over and over again. In this vision, there is so much farcical, explosive, rabid anger: a mercurial state of self-rebellion that burns under the surface of many of Akerman’s other images. -
Goodnight, Chantal
GOODNIGHT, CHANTAL CORINA COPP Rules prevent us from living. I go out in my pajamas, I’ve dispensed with fashion. I filmed all of my last film in pajamas. Today, I’m in my pajamas. — Chantal Akerman But before prehistory there was the prehistory of prehistory and there was the never and there was the yes. It was ever so. — Clarice Lispector Top: Chantal Akerman, still from Portrait d’une parasseuse (Sloth), 1986. Bottom: Charlie Chaplin, still from A Beautiful Sunday Morning, 1919. 65 In Portrait d’une parasseuse (Sloth), a short film made for a group commission to support independent women filmmakers in 1986, which resulted in the omnibusSeven Women, Seven Sins, Chantal Akerman’s digital clock—a radio alarm—reads: 12:12. Make a wish. Her second clock, a square analog set atop the digital, a mere insistence, reads: 12:25. What time is it? A classic move by us sloths, to keep more than one clock around the room we sleep in, all set a few minutes ahead or behind another, so as not to know. The camera is held on the clocks, then cuts to the bed. Here, the director sits up straight, under the covers, en face. It’s not unfamiliar, this image of Chantal in bed. Beds dot her films, appearing frequently as grounds zero for lived reality—fromLa Chambre, 1972, where she rests also under the covers, sometimes with apple; to the famous mattress in Je tu il elle, 1974; to Sylvain’s sofa bed in Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, 1975 (not to mention Jeanne’s own, of course, host to the event of events); to the “beds, pajamas, and people complaining of the unbearable heat,”1 of Toute une nuit (All Night Long, 1982); all the way up (and back) to mother and daughter sharing a bed in both Les Rendez-vous d’Anna (Meetings With Anna, 1978) and Demain on déménage (Tomorrow We Move, 2004), tonally dissimilar films that rely on a common, heartfelt thread to entwine them: the actress Aurore Clément, who plays, first, the role of the daughter; and, 26 years later, the mother.
