Tabakalera Film and Literature Cycle linked to the figure of Chantal Akerman
What happens when instead of a cinema director it is a writer who talks about a film in a cinema? This is the proposal that Tabakalera launched in 2024 with a new film series: Cinema and Literature.
The creative processes that we promote at Tabakalera often begin with words. A text can be the starting point for an exhibition, a prototype, a performance or a film.
The Film and Literature cycle is born precisely from the crossing between the written and the projected. Once a month, with the help of guest writers, we will delve into the films of film directors from a literary perspective.
In its first year, the cycle was linked to Marguerite Duras and the guest writers were Miren Agur Meabe, Harkaitz Cano and Beñat Sarasola. In 2025, in its second edition, the cycle will be linked to the figure of Chantal Akerman. The writers presenting the films this year will be Itxaro Borda, Karmele Jaio and Danele Sarriugarte.
