The Akerman Year
by Simon Howell and Kate Rennebohm

Chantal Akerman’s work stretched across mediums, formats, modes, concerns, countries, and production models, but only a handful of them have actually been seen by most cinephiles, especially in North America. In this monthly miniseries, we (Kate, Simon, and an assortment of special guests) will make a comprehensive case for Akerman as belonging on any list of the great artists of the last century — not only for her relatively “famous” works, but also for her dozens of much-less-seen projects.
