This talk centers on the films of Chantal Akerman, her depiction of the role of women, race and religion, and her refusal to be identified singly as a Feminist or a Queer. Her complex films eschew labels for all of her subjects and give deep, long looks at injustice. Speakers close to the late filmmaker—artists addressing gender and race in their own work—reflect on the balance of personal identity and social identity.

Claire Atherton, Film Editor, Paris; Rania Stephan, Filmmaker and Artist, Beirut.

Moderator: Kathleen Bühler, Curator, Kunstmuseum Bern, Bern.
