The Akerman Year

Part 4: Placement and displacement (ft. Jessica Bardsley)


Listen Later

This month, Lodgers alumnus and filmmaker Jessica Bardsley joins us to talk about three exceedingly different projects, all linked by the theme of displacement: 1978's Jeanne Dielman follow-up Les rendez-vous d'Anna, 1984's hilarious Family Business, made while looking to secure funding for Golden Eighties (more on that one in a future episode) and 1993's commanding documentary depicting life in Eastern Europe following the collapse of the USSR, D'Est.

Music used in this episode: Imperia, "Train to Leningrad"
