A time capsule holding the memory of Chantal Akerman's New York. Her 16mm footage, long takes, and elegantly composed shots roaming the city set to the filmmaker's voice-over as she reads letters from her mother. The text paints an intimate picture of family life, with its catalogue of minor illnesses, domestic routines, betrothals and financial anxieties.
The elegiac emotionalism of the writings counterpoints the flat monotone of Akerman's recitation and the images of Manhattan as an alien, urban ghost town, its streets preternaturally empty.
Born in 1950 in Brussels to a family of Polish immigrants, Chantal Akerman carried the influence of her roots throughout her life. Her films often focused on family history, with a meticulous approach to perception and sexuality, reflected in her use of static cameras, long takes, and silent frames. With a filmography of nearly 50 works, she gained widespread recognition with her iconic 1975 film Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, securing a significant place in avant-garde and feminist cinema.
