Chantal Akerman

D'Est (1993) is the first film in a trilogy exploring margins, the area between borders and the Others. This film focuses on routine details shortly after the fall of the iron Curtain. On 16m film Chantel Akerman films in real time 'the wreck of the world in movement: the waiting lines, the passing cars and buses, intimates meals between men and women, more or less young, seated or standing'. Not a word is spoken, but the camera flows and pauses on several anonymous characters.
