*MIRAJ and A Nos Amours present: *
*Chantal Akerman par Chantal Akerman*
*A screening of Chantal Akerman’s 1996 self-portrait celebrating the launch
of two new publications devoted to her work. *

*Tuesday 24th September 6.30pm – 8.30pm*
Regent Street Cinema
307 Regent Street
London W1B 2HW


*The Publications: *

*MIRAJ Issue 8:1&2 – Beside Chantal Akerman’s NOW*
The evening launches a double issue of the *Moving Image Review and Art
Journal* (*MIRAJ*) devoted to Akerman (edited by Michael Mazière & Lucy
Reynolds), with essays and features from eminent and emerging writers on
her work, both for screen and gallery. This follows the Ambika P3
exhibition of 2015, entitled *Chantal Akerman NOW* and the international
conference ‘After Chantal’ at the University of Westminster in 2016.
Contributors include Griselda Pollock, Janet Bergstrom, Alison Rowley,
Sandy Flitterman-Lewis and Dominique Païni.

*Chantal Akerman Retrospective Handbook*
*A Nos Amours* (Joanna Hogg & Adam Roberts) also launch a book gathering
together research and reference materials relating to the 2013–15 complete
retrospective of Akerman's work for the cinema. The* Chantal Akerman
Retrospective Handbook* has a foreword by the celebrated theorist and
film-maker Laura Mulvey. The book includes accurate information to assist
with curation and screening, as well as texts from the likes of Ivone
Margulies, Raymond Bellour and Richard Brody. The book is intended to be
the essential Akerman companion.


*The Film: *

*Chantal Akerman par Chantal Akerman, 1996, 63'*
The legendary series of film-maker portraits curated by Janine Bazin and
André Labarthe offered Akerman a commission. She chose to make a study of
herself as film-maker. Why not? She had turned film-making back on itself,
and discovered a feminised and 'other' sensibility, another way of seeing
the world and self. Not often seen, this is Akerman's self-portrait.
Essential viewing, not available on DVD or on-line.

The journal and the book will be launched by their editors with many
contributing authors anticipated to attend, followed by drinks in the
Regent Street Cinema bar.

*Presented by Moving Image Review and Art Journal (MIRAJ), A Nos Amours and
the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM), University
of Westminster.*
