SCAD Cinema Circle: Jeanne Dielman

  • Trustees Theater 216 East Broughton Street Savannah, GA, 31401 United States (map)

A film that has been analyzed and argued over since it was first released in 1975, Chantal Akerman's "Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" continues to spur debate nearly 50 years later. In 2022, the film made a shocking rise to the top spot in Sight and Sound's 2022 critics poll, marking the first time a film by a female director had earned the distinction. A truly singular work in the history of film, Akerman's cinematic experiment is an exacting and meticulously detailed look at the daily chores and routine of a lonely widowed housewife raising her teenage son.

Tickets for the film, part of the SCAD Cinema Circle series, are free for SCAD Card holders, $5 for students, military, and seniors, and $8 for the general public.
