Chantal Akerman (born June 6 1950) is a Belgian filmmaker and director based in Paris, who is known for her deconstructive style and pessimistic humour. Her films represent her observations of identity, sexuality, and politics.

Chantal Akermans's parents are Holocaust - survivors from Poland. She dissociated itself also in the picture language and technology at first radically from the usual maintaining telling cinema. Film installation From the OTHER side (2002) was presented on documenta 11.

Influences

C'est Pierrot le fou de Jean-Luc Godard qui a provoqué sa vocation. Formellement, Michael Snow sera sa deuxième profonde influence. Chantal Akerman a déclaré le 5 juin 2004 au Centre Pompidou : Godard m'a donné de l'énergie et les formalistes m'ont libérée. Son travail est contemporain de celui du Wim Wenders des débuts.

André Delvaux l'a soutenue dès son premier court-métrage (Saute ma ville, 1968), un film pré-punk où l'adolescente exprimait de manière explosive son besoin vital de libération.
