News From Home. News to Home. pays homage to Chantal Akerman’s documentary film News from home. Akerman made her film at the age of 26, showing scenes of New York filmed in 1976 while reading her mother’s letters aloud. Inspired by this film, 43 years later I would like to present a different New York and a different mother-daughter relationship. The physical and mental distance allows for a film about change, love and alienation – a document about a piece of zeitgeist made from a different perspective.
