A Conversation with Your Mom

A Conversation with Your Mom is inspired by Chantal Akerman’s News From Home. In the film, she reads letters her mother sent her ,between 1971 and 1973, which she reads over footage of the city. You can watch that here.

You: I'm still waiting to hear back from the place I interviewed with last week.

Mom: Have you been applying places? You can't give up.

"No, I've been busy with school stuff." or "I'm going to give it a few more days."
