Another Gaze: Feminist filmmaking and the work of Chantal Akerman

Suite (212)

The 1970s were a fertile time for feminist film, producing not just a huge body of women's work - including Chantal Akerman's seminal 1975 film Jeanne Dielman - but also a corpus of journals and criticism. This week, Tom Overton talks to Daniella Shreir, editor of Another Gaze (http://www.anothergaze.com/) about the need for such publications and the history of feminist film criticism, as well as the work of Chantal Akerman, whose memoir Daniella has translated for Silver Press (https://www.silverpress.org/).
