La Chambre (Chantal Akerman, Belgium, 1972, 11 mins)
News From Home (Chantal Akerman, Belgium, France, 1976, 85 mins)
Two remarkable syntheses of self and home, city and cinema, presence and absence, from the unique Chantal Akerman. A solitary camera captures New York’s oblivious streets, whilst the unseen director reads letters sent to her there by her mother. An apartment, where these letters were perhaps received, becomes a still life.
Introduced by filmmaker, curator and writer Adam Roberts.

About
The Architecture Foundation leads the conversation on the development of London and contributes to a global discourse about the architect’s changing role and responsibilities. We pursue this mission through the delivery of an accessible public programme that makes space for emerging architects, groups historically underrepresented in the profession, and representatives of a wide range of related disciplines. Exploring the architect’s capacity to combat climate change and systemic social inequalities represent central concerns of the programme.
