Moving Cinema
News from Home
Chantal Akerman
Sinopsis
Streets. Lights at night. A woman on the pavement. A crowded underground carriage. Children playing in the street. Horns. Cars. Bursts of sound. Fixed shots and tracking shots as long as a memory or a dream. The letters Chantal Akerman received from her mother when she was living in New York, between the ages of 21 and 23.
Three years later, already internationally recognised for Je, tu, il, elle and Jeanne Dielman, she returned to the city to film News from Home, a personal and unique portrait of a cold and conquered New York, which resonates with the awareness of growing older and being far from home.
Synopsis written by the Young Programmers Moving Cinema at the Filmoteca de Catalunya 2019-2021
The screening at the Filmoteca de Catalunya on 7 February 2020 opened the cycle of this group of Young Programmers with a completely full house. After the screening, the young people read some unpublished texts by filmmakers about Chantal Akerman. On their way out, they gave the audience a small publication containing all the texts.
