Chantal Akerman (June 6, 1950 – October 5, 2015) was a Belgian film director known for her slow cinema style and exploration of female experiences. Her most renowned work is 'Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles' (1975). Akerman refused the feminist label, instead attributing her cinematic approach to influences from Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Michael Snow, and Jean-Luc Godard. Many directors, including Kelly Reichardt, Gus Van Sant, and Sofia Coppola, have cited Akerman's style as an influence.
