Chantal Akerman’s Final Film ‘No Home Movie’ to Be Released by Icarus

Chantal Akerman’s last film, “No Home Movie,” has found a North American distribution deal and a U.S. release date.

Shot almost entirely in her mother’s apartment and focused on the filmmaker’s relationship with her “mommy,” a Holocaust survivor, “No Home Movie” will be released on April 1, 2016.

The documentary made its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival. Icarus is also the distributor for four of Akerman’s other films: “One Day Pina Asked,” “From the East,” “South” and “From the Other Side.”

Akerman died in September 2015 by suicide. She was 65.
