J'ai faim, J'ai froid

Made as part of the Paris-centric anthology film Paris vu par… vingt ans après, which featured six vignettes about six different neighborhoods in the city, Jai faim, J'ai froid centres on a pair of teenage girls who ditch Belgium for Paris — and their disheartening encounters with Parisian men and cafés.

Restored by Royal Film Archive of Belgium (CINEMATEK), Fondation Chantal Akerman and Cinémathèque française.

Portrait d’une jeune fille de la fin des années 60 à Bruxelles

Akerman’s contribution to the television series Tous les garçons et les filles de leur âge centres upon a headstrong high school student who after deciding to abandon her studies meets a handsome deserter with whom she spends the day wandering the streets of Brussels. Semi-autobiographical and set on the cusp of 1968, Akerman's existential coming-of-age tale skirts historical accuracy in favour of a potent mix of desire, rebellious youth and despair.
