Céline Sciamma on Chantal Akerman | BFI in Conversation

Chantal Akerman's cinema has had a profound influence on Céline Sciamma, the French screenwriter and director of acclaimed films such as Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) and Petite Maman (2021). The Belgian auteur's radicalism has long inspired Sciamma on set but also shaped her wider view of filmmaking.
