Là-bas
Phyllis Wattis Theater
3:00 p.m.
2006, 78 min.
In this documentary of sorts, Akerman creates a conglomerated sense of exile, voyeurism, belonging, and hope. Là-bas covers the filmmaker's time spent in a Tel Aviv apartment. Most of the scenes are shot from an apartment window, showing the neighbors going about their business and life on the street below; Akerman's narration is both contemplative and apprehensive about the outside world of Israel.
Part of Chantal Akerman.
$5 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double features: films offered on the same date are included in one ticket. Tickets are available at the museum (with no surcharge) or online.
