In the revolutionary first decade of her filmmaking career, Chantal Akerman devoted herself to nothing less than the total resculpting of cinematic time and space. Journeying between Europe and New York City, Akerman forged a highly personal style that fuses avant-garde influences with deeply human expressions of alienation, desire, and displacement—themes that she would explore in a series of increasingly ambitious shorts, documentaries, and features, including the towering Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. With immersive rhythms that render the most minute details momentous, these landmarks of twentieth-century art continue to reveal new ways of experiencing cinema and framing reality.

• Saute ma ville (1968) [Blow Up My Town]
Akerman plays a young woman who, alone in her kitchen, enacts a savaging of traditional domestic rituals that leads to a literally explosive climax.

• L'enfant aimé, ou Je joue à être une femme mariée (1971) [The Beloved Child, or I Play at Being a Married Woman]
One of Chantal Akerman’s most rarely seen works is an intimate portrait of a young mother whose day-to-day routines are intercut with her stream-of-consciousness ruminations on her family, sex life, relationships, and body.

• Hotel Monterey (1972)
Filmmaker Chantal Akerman's experimental work exhibits a rundown New York hotel and its residents.

• La chambre (1972) [The Room]
As the camera completes a series of circular pans around a small apartment, the interior’s furniture, its clutter, and the filmmaker herself - staring back at us from bed - become the subjects of a moving still life.

• Le 15/8 (1973)
On August 15, 1973, in a Paris apartment, Finnish expat opens up to the camera about her anxieties and uncertainties, her aspirations and ennui, and the sense of vulnerability she feels being a woman alone in an unfamiliar country.

• Je tu il elle (1974) [I You He She]
A young woman, following a lengthy, self-imposed exile, ventures out into the world, where she has two very different experiences of intimacy: first with a truck driver who picks her up, and then with a female ex-lover.

• Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975)
A lonely widowed housewife does her daily chores, takes care of her apartment where she lives with her teenage son, and turns the occasional trick to make ends meet. However, something happens that changes her safe routine.

• News From Home (1977)
Sweeping scenes of New York City contrasted to the letters from the director's mother in Brussels.

• Les rendez-vous d'Anna (1978) [The Meetings of Anna]
Anna, an accomplished filmmaker, makes her way through a series of European cities to promote her latest movie. Via a succession of eerie, brief encounters—with men and women, family, and strangers—we come to see her emotional and physical detachment from the world.
