Synopsis

Considered to be one of the most influential auteurs in French cinema today, Chantal Akerman has had a profound impact on both feminist filmmaking discourse and avant-garde film. She has shown herself to be an uncompromising and dedicated practitioner of the cinematic arts in works such as ""I...You...He...She"" (""Je tu il elle"", 1974); ""Jeanne Dielman""; ""23 quai du Commerce""; ""1080 Bruxelles"" (1975); ""Meetings with Anna"" (""Les Rendez-vous d'Anna"", 1978); ""American Stories/Food, Family, and Philosophy"" (""Histoires d'Amerique"", 1989); and ""From the East"" (D'Est, 1993). Akerman has continued to create new and unexpected films that explore ideas about image, gaze, space, performance, and narration.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

This collection of essays edited by Gwendolyn Audrey Foster assesses Akerman's wide-ranging oeuvre, particularly her exploration of identity and memory, and considers her development as an artist and as a social force. Along with a detailed filmography and bibliography, both compiled by Foster, ten of the key figures in contemporary feminist moving-image discourse explore the themes with which Akerman is preoccupied: sexuality and lesbian identity, subjectivity, alterity, quotidian reality, the mother-daughter relationship, and Jewish diasporic identity.
