r.i.p. Chantal Akerman


Belgian experimental film artist, theorist and professor of film at The City College of New York. Died unexpectedly- Age 65.
Her last film, 'No Home Movie' was a video essay about her mother, Natalia, an Auschwitz survivor who died in 2014. Her film was badly received with boos at its premiere and this negative reception is said to have 'devastated' her. The New York Times, Le Monde and her sister Sylviane Akerman have reported her death as suicide. Bye.
