Letters from Chantal Akerman’s mother are read over a series of elegantly composed shots of 1976 New York, where the filmmaker has relocated. Akerman’s unforgettable time capsule of the city is also a gorgeous meditation on urban alienation and personal and familial disconnection.
The film will be accompanied by a live score composed & performed by Leon Todd Johnson and Rob Funkhouser.
There will also be an opening performance by Landon Caldwell, Mark Tester and Tom Lageveen before the film.
