News from Home

A 1977 film by Chantal Akerman that is made up of a series of shots, long shots of New York — the places where Akerman used to walk by when she lived in the city, like the Times Square subway station, or the path between 10th Avenue and Hell’s Kitchen. As a narrator, we have the voice of the director reading the letters that her mother sent her during the years she spent there, from 1971 to 1973.

Nosh-up

“Cooking is caring” and this is an ode to one of the most affectionate gestures. An animation that takes us through the preparation of a meal, from coriander soup to hake dumplings, and the playful dynamics this familiar (and familial) routine provides.

Nothing Compares

Sinead O’Connor. The name conjures up an image of a girl with a shaved head, or a girl tearing up a photograph of the then Pope, John Paul II, or a singer who has been pushed out of the spotlight of pop music for her uncompromising personality. Through a contemporary feminist lens, this documentary looks at a five-year period, linking the singer’s career to the complex and eventful past of Ireland, where she was born.

Nude on the Moon

Doris Wishman goes where no woman has gone before and transports sexploitation to the surface of the Moon in a sensual science fiction film, as if Star Trek had arrived with the wrong coordinates. When Dr. Jeff Huntley receives an inheritance he begins to build a rocket ship with the help of his mentor Dr. Nichols, in order to travel to the Earth’s satellite. In a Florida-turned-Moon, they encounter a sensual (and telepathic) alien community.
