The Akerman Year

Simon Howell and Kate Rennebohm

The Akerman Year is a tv podcast hosted by Simon Howell and Kate Rennebohm. It has 12 episodes, with the latest published July 2023.

Chantal Akerman's work stretched across mediums, formats, modes, concerns, countries, and production models, but only a handful of them have actually been seen by most cinephiles, especially in North America. In this monthly miniseries, we (Kate, Simon, and an assortment of special guests) will make a comprehensive case for Akerman as belonging on any list of the great artists of the last century -- not only for her relatively "famous" works, but also for her dozens of much-less-seen projects.
