Identity & Memory:Films of Chantal Akerman: The Films of Chantal Akerman Book
Considered to be one of the most influential auteurs in French cinema today, Chantal Akerman has had a profound impact on both feminist filmmaking discourse and avant-garde film. She has shown herself to be an uncompromising and dedicated practitioner of the cinematic arts in works such as I…You…He…She (Je tu il elle,1974); Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975); Meetings with Anna (Les Rendez-vous dâ??Anna,1978); American Stories/Food, Family, and Philosophy (Histoires dâ??Amérique,1989); and From the East (Dâ??Est,1993). Akerman has continued to create new and unexpected films that explore ideas about image, gaze, space, performance, and narration.             This collection of essays edited by … read more...Gwendolyn Audrey Foster assesses Akermanâ??s wide-ranging oeuvre, particularly her exploration of identity and memory, and considers her development as an artist and as a social force. Along with a detailed filmography and bibliography, both compiled by Foster, ten of the key figures in contemporary feminist moving-image discourse explore the themes with which Akerman is preoccupied: sexuality and lesbian identity, subjectivity, alterity, quotidian reality, the mother-daughter relationship, and Jewish diasporic identity.  The contributors include Maureen Turim, Sandy Flitterman-Lewis, Jennifer M.
