Program

Le 15/8

Samy SZLINGERBAUM Chantal Akerman 1973 France, Belgium Fiction b/w 42min English DCP
Mid-August in Paris in a sunny, quiet apartment a young woman talks, thinks, reflects on herself, her everyday life and little events in a long, uninterrupted monologue. The camera pictures her and her gestures in long, fixed shots moving around the rooms, the space, the light and shadows in a summer day.
