14 Chantal Akerman
Inspired to be a filmmaker as a
teenager by Jean-Luc Godard's
Pierrot le fou, Chantal Akerman
has forged a bold, personal and
completely independent path
that is as unique as the aesthetic
she places on screen. Though she
has been labeled as a feminist or
minimalist, her films provide a
range of experience that is often
hypnotic, but also full of antici-
pation and personal exercises in
memory and identity. The series
includes her seminal experiment,
Jeanne Dielman... along with two
other films, including her most
recent, Almayer's Folly. "Chantal
Akerman is arguably the most
important European director of
her generation." -- J. Hoberman,
The Village Voice. Thanks to the
University of Notre Dame and
Ted Barron for their partnership.
The series is sponsored in part
by IU's Department of Communi-
cation and Culture and Film and
Media Studies. Screenings are
free, but ticketed.

NOTE: Unfortunately, due to a recent
scheduling conflict, Chantal Akerman's
visit has been canceled. All films will
still be screened without her presence.
