Un jour, Pina a demandé, Chantal Akerman

Un jour, Pina a demandé, Chantal Akerman, France, Belgium, Germany, 1983, 57’

We at the Tabakalera cinema wanted to schedule two screenings in dialogue with the exhibition  Larruak eta izurrak (Skins and Folds) curated by Laura Vallés. To do so, we had various conversations with the curator and, after sharing ideas and views, we developed a programme of two sessions comprised of different artists and filmmakers.

On one had is the first session comprised of two short films that took place on 9 May (Sun tunnels by Nancy Holt and Core by June Crespo and Maddi Barber), and a second session dedicated to the film that Chantal Akerman made on Pina Bausch. 

Sinopsys: Un jour, Pina a demandé, 

Chantal Akerman follows famous choreographer Pina Bausch and her company of dancers, The Tanztheater Wuppertal, for five weeks while they are on tour through Germany, Italy, and France, capturing Pina’s unparalleled work not only on stage, but also behind the scenes.
