About the Akerman Retrospective
Over the
next 18 months A Nos Amours are screening a complete retrospective of Chantal
Akerman. Akerman is a touchstone film-maker for many theorists, feminists and
film-makers. Nothing like a complete retrospective has ever been offered in the
UK, and the time is right for this in-depth survey of a key figure in European
cinema, whose immense body of work spans almost half a century.
