Chantal Akerman by Chantal Akerman
Sound
Janine Bazin and André Labarthe approached Chantal Akerman about making a film for the series; eagerly, Akerman proposed a number of filmmakers—but all had already been done. So she suggested…“How about me?” Akerman creates a fascinating self-portrait that takes us through her career, aided by critics Emmanuel Burdeau and Jean Narboni and filmmaker Luc Moullet.
Tell Me
Sound
Chantal Akerman meets with elderly Jewish women in Paris, all of them survivors of the Shoah, and listens to their family stories. Between interviews, Akerman's mother Natalia speaks of her own family. Made for a French miniseries on grandmothers.
The Suspended Vocation
Sound Engineer
The film centers on a Dominican monk named Jérôme (played by one actor in colour and another actor in black-and-white) and his interactions with various higher-ups within the French Catholic Church. Ruiz's intention was to reflect the ideological arguments that plagued Latin American left-wing political parties.
The Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting
Sound
Dos narradores, uno al que vemos (el coleccionista) y otro al que no vemos (el documentalista), discuten sobre una serie de pinturas. El tema elegido es la obra de un supuesto artista francés, Tonnerre, quien en el siglo XIX habría retratado las diferentes imágenes de una ceremonia secreta que fue posteriormente interrumpida por las autoridades, propiciando un escándalo. Pero no, quizás lo que hizo el artista fue ocultar en esa representación las pistas de otro escándalo, aun mayor, que involucraba a una conocida familia de la época. De esta manera, el coleccionista recorre la geografía del cuadro, buscando los indicios de la verdad oculta.
