JDIFF: FROM THE OTHER SIDE

Director: Chantal Akerman

France - Belgium • 2002 • Colour • 103 min


Chantal Akerman’s 2002 documentary depicting the plight of migrant workers and their attempts at clandestine entry into the US is as timely as it is penetrating. As a filmmaker from a consciously and deliberately divided society like Belgium, Akerman is uniquely positioned to capture the ugliness and incongruities of this perpetual theatre of war known as the Mexican-American border.Bookings: 01 672 8861 www.jdiff.com
