New News from Another Home

A bow to Chantal Akerman's News from Home from 1976, in which Akerman reads letters from her mother set to footage from New York. Borjana Ventzislavova travels to the metropolis on a personal journey through the revered work. She visits original locations and reads messages from her own mother. They’re about the weather, health problems, and everyday life in Bulgaria. At the same time, the filmmaker makes visible the economic and social changes of the last fifty years.
