Film Screening of Chantal Akerman's News From Home
The RIT Cornerstone Initiative presents a film screening of Chantal Akerman's News from Home
FREE Admission for all RIT Students with student ID.
Film introduced by Dr. Robert Gordon-Fogelson, Lecturer, School of Communication.
At the age of twenty-one, Chantal Akerman moved from Belgium to New York City, shooting film, taking odd jobs, and making connections with independent filmmakers. Over that two-year period, her loving but insistent mother sent her numerous letters that connected her to home. Three years later, following some critical success, Akerman returned to the city to shoot footage that she would pair with a voice-over of these letters. News from Home is a cinematic masterpiece and a profound meditation on intimacy and dislocation.
Film with English subtitles.
