tried addressing this after watching la bas having unfortunately visited there the same year it was made and witnessing zionism for what it actually was, finding the film and some writing on it irresponsibly blind to settler colonialism and apartheid

as news of a Chantal Akerman boxset start to fill my timeline amidst this ongoing genocide it seems necessary to bring this question of her zionism back up to a film world that i am certain will leave it fully & shamefully unaddressed in their new rounds of praise.
