Les films de Chantal Akerman
Chantal Akerman was a Belgian director who was born in Brussels in 1950 and died in Paris in 2015. As the 1970s dawned, her portrayal of women’s worlds and characters offered a new cinematic perspective on women. Considered one of the most prominent figures of modern cinema, she imposed her own personal signature (sequence shots, filming in real time), setting a precedent and influencing an entire generation of filmmakers. Akerman was a very eclectic author, making dramas, installations and a musical as well as devoting some of her work to documentaries including the films *Sud*, *De L'autre côté* and *No Home Movie*.
