"I was not interested by cinema when I was young."

These are the words of Chantal Akerman, who would become one of the defining women filmmakers in the 1970s and 1980s, but perhaps especially in the 1990s and at the turn of the millennium.

I came late to her work, but it stayed with me. If you need recommendations, I suggest "Jeanne Dielman", "D'est" and "Là-bas" for a start. "News from Home" and "No Home Movie" are also important.

‘Autour de Jeanne Dielman’ (Sami Frey, 1975). A fascinating film about a great film. Via .

"While watching Jeanne, I felt as if I learned something, as if I learned each scene as a form of language which Akerman tries to teach me, a language that I would become fluent in at some point."

As Chantal Akerman's "Jeanne Dielman" deservedly tops the "Best Films of All Time" list, here is my review of it: theartsofslowcinema.com/2018/0

Some consolation for today: ‘Jeanne Dielman’ (1975) was voted greatest film ever. I do appreciate and her lasting impact but beating predecessors as director of ‘The Greatest Film Ever Made’ in the poll, I have to let that sink in slowly…

My 3D Print of Spring Frost by Verner Akerman (1854-1903)
Part of the scan the world collection on myminifactory.

I was experimenting with resin coating 3d prints and I have actually done a few coats on this statuette.
