Directed by Chantal Akerman

In a great deal of Chantal Akerman’s broad body of work, her mother looms large as a central figure. Natalia (Nelly) Akerman was a Holocaust survivor, who married and raised a family in Brussels. In many of Chantal’s recent works—in books, videos, and installation works—the filmmaker has explicitly depicted her mother’s life and the intense connection the filmmaker and her mother shared. No Home Movie, while intensely intimate, is also full of great precision and beauty. It is the rare work of art that is at once both personal and universal. In a cruel twist of fate, the film would be the final work of Akerman’s filmmaking career; she died unexpectedly in October 2015. In English and French with English subtitles. (2K DCP Presentation)
