In the vicinity of New York's Hudson River Valley, the Adirondack Mountains, Catskill Mountains, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, a group of American painters led by British born artist Thomas Cole forged an artistic vision of the American wilderness. This was the first American school of landscape painting that emerged between 1825 and 1880. Men with the names of (Thomas) Cole, (Asher) Durand, (Jasper) Cropsey, (Albert) Bierstadt, and (Frederic) Church would impress the world with their creative brilliance and wondrous vision. On canvas they would bring to life 19th century America through imagination, interpretation, color and conviction, and they would craft an idealistic, identifiable narrative of an ever-changing nation. This template would soon attract fervid followers and avid admirers.

At the beginning of the 19th century, English-born artist Thomas Cole and American engraver Asher Durand established an artistic movement in the vicinity of New York's Hudson River Valley based on their love of nature, fine art, and connection to the Spiritual. They would soon belong to a group of like-minded, committed followers who would come to be known as The Hudson River School. By mid-19th century members of The Hudson River School would come to create a style distinctively all their own. The first generation of Cole and Durand would give way to a second generation who would expand their palette with a sophisticated technique that was reflective, atmospheric and immersed in light. This artistic innovation was later hailed as, "The Luminist Movement.

Over the past four decades, Belgian director Chantal Akerman (Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles) has created one of cinema’s most distinctive bodies of work—formally daring, often autobiographical films about people and places, time and space. In this collection, we present the early films that put her on the map: intensely personal, modernist investigations of cities, history, family, and sexuality, made in the 1970s in the United States and Europe and strongly influenced by the New York experimental film scene. Bold and iconoclastic, these five films pushed boundaries in their day and continue to have a profound influence on filmmakers all over the world.
