So, this week, we are revisiting Chantal Akerman's 1975 film, "Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" with guest Sam Meltzer. This film was shot by cinematographer Babette Mangolte. The film is truly an exemplary feminist cinematic work. With long lingering shots,  “Jeanne Dielman” brilliantly frames a woman’s ever-shrinking existence. The production design keeps Jeanne’s world relatively stark. But it is Mangolte’s cinematography that plays with this idea of a stifling, sometimes suffocating, existence. When Sam was on, we discussed Jeanne Dielman through Chantal Akerman’s direction, but it also makes sense this film had a woman as the director of photography. In lesser hands, Jeanne could have easily been reduced to her age, her profession, or her proximity to men. For a film that has minimal dialogue, the cinematography is critical to articulating so much about Jeanne, her life, and her inner workings. So, while we may not explicitly discuss Mangolte’s work, it certainly permeates the conversation. Enjoy revisiting "Jeanne Dielman."

"Widow Champion" is a powerful documentary about Rodah, a woman living in rural Kenya aiding her community. In these more rural areas of Kenya, when women marry, they move onto compounds with their husbands' families. In the event of their husbands dying, there is a law called "widow inheritance," which was intended to have the in-laws care for their deceased loved one's widow. In reality, it has become a tool for land grabs, deeply rooted in misogyny. After the loss of her own husband, Rodah's home was taken from her. Rodah and her children spent 7 years living on the street. But through mediation and reconciliation, Rodah was able to find resolution with her in-laws. Believing so deeply in this process, Rodah now dedicates herself to other widows and their families, aiming to help them find common ground to move forward together. 

"Widow Champion" premieres on 09 June 2025 at 8:15pm with screenings on the 10th, 12th, and 15th. For tickets, you can head over to the Tribeca Film Festival website. 

"Widow Champion" will also be screening at DC/Dox on 14 June 2025, and you can learn more here.

Jesse remarks how gross that pool of TicTacs would be in a post-COVID competition and they're both understanding but disappointed in who goes home. The elephant in the room is addressed with Maddy Morphosis being the first straight cis competitor and how much focus it stole from the competition.
