Chantal Akerman was born in Brussels on 6 June 1950, to Polish Jewish parents who were survivors of the Shoah. Enrolled at eighteen at the Brussels film school, she left it almost at once to shoot her first short film. In New York, in the early seventies, she discovered experimental cinema, and that of Michael Snow in particular. A filmmaker, she was also a video artist and exhibited her installations at major art events. She died in Paris on 5 October 2015.
