 Chantal Akerman
«News from Home»

In «Hotel Monterey» and «News from Home» (1976), two of Akerman's films made in New York under the influence of structural filmmaking, a fixed shot of an empty corridor, or of a crowded subway car (human absence, human presence), maps the range of possibilities of structural film.
