Letter from a Filmmaker: Chantal Akerman

7.5 8 mins Documentary   TV Movie   1984
Paradise Films   France 2  
Director(s): Chantal Akerman

Release Date: 19 Mon, Nov 1984

A filmmaker’s self-portrait, asking hard questions of herself and of us. Invoking Aurore Clément as a kind of stand-in or proxy, a glamorous counterpart to Akerman who sports a drawn-on moustache. What is cinema for? Who is it for? If the Mosaic prohibition on making graven images includes film images, then where does that leave a Jewish filmmaker?
