Eastern times in transition


"While there's still time, I would like to make a grand journey across Eastern Europe. To Russia, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, the former East Germany, and back to Belgium." (Akerman, in Anderson, 2009)
Akerman documents her journey from the end of summer to deepest winter, for D'Est/From the East reconstructing "her impressions in the manner of a documentary on the border of fiction" [Icarus Films, 2012].
