Chantal Akerman, DVD, 57 min, Belgium, 1983 (French)

In homage to Pina Bausch (2009) and Chantal Akerman (2015)

Bringing two remarkable women artists of the 20th century together, One Day Pina Asked is a journey through choreographer Pina Bausch’s world and her quest for love. “With her audacious compositions, decisive cuts, and tightrope-tremulous sense of time,” Akerman’s film “is of a piece with Bausch’s dances. It is a work of modestly daring wonder, of exploration and inspiration” (The New Yorker).

Co-sponsored by the Department of Dance, the Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival and the Sam & Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies.

Presented as part of the Tournées Film Festival
