Rétrospective Chantal Akerman 31 Janvier – 2 Mars 2018
Rétrospective Chantal Akerman 31 janvier – 2 mars 2018 AVEC LE SOUTIEN DE WALLONIE-BRUXELLES INTERNATIONAL ET LE CONCOURS DU CENTRE WALLONIE BRUXELLES Héritière à la fois de la Nouvelle Vague et du cinéma underground américain, l’œuvre de Chantal Akerman explore avec élégance les notions de frontière et de transmission. Ses films vont de l’essai expérimental (Hotel Monterey), aux récits de la solitude (Jeanne Dielman), en passant par des comédies à l’humour triste (Un divan à New York) et les somptueuses adaptations de classiques littéraires (Proust pour La Captive). CONFÉRENCE et DIALOGUES “CHANTAL AKERMAN : L’ESPACE PENDANT UN CERTAIN TEMPS” PAR JÉRÔME MOMCILOVIC je 01 fév 19h Chantal Akerman a dit souvent son étonnement face à cette formule banale, qui nous vient parfois pour exprimer le plaisir pris un film : ne pas voir le temps passer. De l’appartement du premier film (Saute ma ville, 1968) a celui du dernier (No Home Movie, 2015), des rues traversées par la fiction (Toute une nuit) a celles longées par le documentaire (D’Est), ses films ont suivi une morale rigoureusement inverse : regarder le temps, pour mieux voir l’espace, et nous le faire habiter ainsi en compagnie de tous les fantômes qui le hantent. A la suite de la conférence, à 21h30, projection d’un film choisi par le conférencier : News from Home. Jerome Momcilovic est critique de cinema, responsable des pages cinéma du magazine Chronic’art. Il est l’auteur chez Capricci de Prodiges d’Arnold Schwarzenegger (2016) et, en février 2018, d’un essai sur le cinema de Chantal Akerman Dieu se reposa, mais pas nous. -

FILM FESTIVALS World Premiere 2015 Locarno Film Festival North American Premiere 2015 Toronto International Film Festival U.S. Premiere 2015 New York Film Festival FILMMAKER’S STATEMENT I’ve been filming just about everywhere for years now, as soon as I see a shot. Not with anything specific in mind, just the feeling that one day, these images will make a film, or an art installation. I just let myself go, because I want to, and instinctively. Without a film script, with no conscious project in view. Three installations have been created from these images and have been shown in many locations (at the Art Film Festival in Belgium, for example, etc.). And I continue to film. Myself. Alone. Last spring, with the help of Claire Atherton and Clémence le Carré, I brought together around 20 hours of images and sounds still not knowing where I was going. Then we started sculpting the material. 20 hours became 8, then 6, and then after a while, 2. And there we saw it, we saw a film and I said to myself: of course, it’s this film that I wanted to make. -

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. -

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 -
Bamcinématek Presents Chantal Akerman: Images Between the Images, Apr 1—May 1
BAMcinématek presents Chantal Akerman: Images Between the Images, Apr 1—May 1 One of the most comprehensive retrospectives of Chantal Akerman’s work to be exhibited in the US Opens with the NY premiere run of the filmmaker’s final work, No Home Movie “A pioneer of modernist feminist cinema” —The Guardian “Arguably the most important European director of her generation” —Village Voice The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Mar 1, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, April 1, through Sunday, May 1, BAMcinématek presents Chantal Akerman: Images Between the Images. Following the untimely passing of the great filmmaker last October, Chantal Akerman (1950—2015) will be honored via cinematic tribute around New York City. In a career that began in the late 1960s, Akerman quickly carved out a place in cinema for a female, avant garde filmmaker compelled to tell personal and intimate stories. Preferring long takes, and the drama of day to day life, her films resonated with progressive audiences. BAMcinématek is proud to honor the artist with a month-long tribute anchored by the New York premiere run of a film The New York Times called “candid and open-hearted,” Akerman’s crowning film, No Home Movie (2015—Apr 1—14). Chantal Akerman’s final film, No Home Movie is a portrait of her relationship with her mother, Natalia, a Holocaust survivor and familiar presence in many of Akerman’s films. The film fixates on Natalia’s world inside her Brussels apartment, with only glimpses of the hustle and bustle just outside her window. -

H-France Review Volume 20 (2020) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 20 (April 2020), No. 66 Marion Schmid and Emma Wilson, eds., Chantal Akerman: Afterlives. Cambridge: Legenda/Modern Humanities Research Association, 2019. 184 pp. £75.00 (hb). ISBN: 978-1- 781886-39-7; (pb). ISBN: 978-1-781886-40-3; (eb). ISBN: 978-1-781886-41-0. Review by Ivone Margulies, Hunter College. Inspiring for artists and critics alike, Akerman’s work feels surprisingly close. As Nicholas Elliott states in his tribute to the artist, Akerman “redefined the intimate”[1]; and in many ways, we continue to critically grapple with an art that so delicately balances clarity, directness, and intriguing singularity. Akerman’s incisive interventions have redefined issues of duration, of women’s self-inscription, of performance. And beyond the oft-repeated lines about the blurring of autobiography and fiction, it is Akerman’s restless move among genres and modes, as well as her allusions to her mother, the Holocaust, and exile, that keep us revisiting her work, with the persistent sense that there is more to discover. Marion Schmid and Emma Wilson’s Chantal Akerman: Afterlives is part of an uninterrupted flow of engagement with Akerman’s work across the world. While her works from the 1970s have been revisited in light of contemporary approaches to affect, labor, and time, her installations and documentary work, as well as her last fiction adaptations, have been the consistent object of striking scholarship dealing with dailiness, ethics, and performative gestuality.[2] This new collection, focusing on works from the last two decades, proves how present and alive Akerman questions are: as an aesthetic interlocutor, as ethical compass, as a complex model of personally inscribed cinema and literature.
