I Don’t Belong Anywhere - Le Cinéma de Chantal Akerman, explores some of the Belgian filmmaker’s 40 plus films. From Brussels to Tel-Aviv, from Paris to New-York, this documentary charts the sites of her peregrinations. An experimental filmmaker, a nomad, Chantal Akerman shares her cinematic trajectory, one that has never ceased to interrogate the the meaning of her existence. Thanks in great part to the interventions of her editor, Claire Atherton, she delineates the origins of her film language and her aesthetic stance.

The history of barbed wire, whose use dates back to the first settlers of the Wild West, always driven by their reckless and ruthless spirit of conquest and selfish ambition to leave their mark on wild lands; of its relationship with politics and mercantilism; of the perversion of the millenary relationship between men and animals; of the evolution of surveillance techniques. Fences and borders: the tragic tale of the enclosure of the world.

Wendo Kolosoy was a former boxer and ship's mechanic from the Congo who in 1948 recorded a song called "Marie Louise" as Papa Wendo. Wendo's music, an infectious blend of Latin and African rhythms, took the nation by storm and he became an overnight star among the Congolese. However, while the sound Wendo created proved to have a lasting influence in the Congo, his own fame waned, and as he slipped into obscurity, he watched the sad history of his nation unfold, as the end of colonialism led to wave after wave of bloody violence. Wendo's music, however, has been discovered by a new generation of music fans, and the aging musician continues to perform as often as he can.

세 명의 백인 청년이 아무런 이유 없이 한 흑인을 무참하게 린치한 끝에 죽게 했다. 이 영화는 그 실화에 바탕을 두고 있다. 미국 남부에서 촬영된 영화는 어떤 의미에서는 감독이 90년대 초반 동유럽에서 작업했던 한 영화에 대한 메아리이자 대위법에 해당하는 작품이다. 무덥고 습기찬 날씨 속에 계속되는 여행의 중심에는 살해된 제임스 비어드 주니어가 있으며, 그의 존재는 전체 영화를 휘감고 있다. 이 영화는 살인사건에 대한 보고서나 린치를 당한 흑인의 죽음을 확인하려는 것이 아니다. 미국 남부의 무덥고 습한 날씨가 인간의 몸과 마음에 끼치는 영향과 이 살인사건을 연관시켜 관객들에게 기후와 풍경이 가지는 무게를 끊임없이 환기시킨다.
