The Akerman Year

Simon Howell and Kate Rennebohm

Chantal Akerman's work stretched across mediums, formats, modes, concerns, countries, and production models, but only a handful of them have actually been seen by most cinephiles, especially in North America. In this monthly miniseries, we (Kate, Simon, and an assortment of special guests) will make a comprehensive case for Akerman as belonging on any list of the great artists of the last century -- not only for her relatively "famous" works, but also for her dozens of much-less-seen projects.

Part 7: Song and dance (ft. Girish Shambu)

After a mid-season siesta, we're back with one of the most obviously pleasurable and accessible groupings of any episode of The Akerman Year: that's right, it's time for musicals. Girish Shambu is on with us to talk about the beguiling whatsit Les Années 80, the one-hour TV documentary One Day Pina Asked, and finally Akerman's long-in-the-making Golden Eighties.

(Apologies for the blown-out sound on Simon's mic. Those responsible are above sacking but have received a strong reprimand.)
