About this Episode
Film scholar and author Patricia White joins us to tackle a couple of Akerman's more direct attempts at self-portraiture (Lettre d'un Cinéaste and Chantal Akerman par Chantal Akerman), along with Sami Frey's behind-the-scenes chronicle Autour de Jeanne Dielman (edited by Akerman in the early 2000s). Discussed: the greatness of Delphine Seyrig, the joy of listening to Akerman talk about movies, her push-pull approach to tackling commissioned work, and (of course) much more.
Music by: The Peter Parkers, Tim Hecker, Sandy Denny.
