EFP 81: Professor Martine Beugnet on cinema and the blurred image

On this episode, we dial down the sharpness and celebrate cinematic blurriness.Going against the common assumption that blur is only for backgrounds, a new book by Professor Martine Beugnet explores the power and poetics of the blurred image. Originally published in French in 2017, Blur (2026) is part of the Cutaways series from Fordham University Press, where authors take a close look at one particular cinematic theme or motif.Martine has published widely on film theory and aesthetics since the early 2000s, with highly influential books such as  a monograph on director Claire Denis, Proust at the Movies, Cinema and Sensation: French Cinema and the Art of Transgression and dozens of articles, book chapters and edited collections. She is currently Professor in Visual Studies at Université Paris Cité but she spent more than a decade of the early part of her career teaching here at the University of Edinburgh.Martine tells Pasquale about the process of having her work translated and the appeal of the short format volume. She talks about her choice of film examples which range from mainstream Hollywood cinema to experimental film, silent cinema to contemporary works. Discussion then turns to the many ways in which filmmakers employ blur, whether it's to create ambiguity, to delineate a sense of character subjectivity or to shift back and forth in time.Films mentioned in the discussion include Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958), The Ipcress File (Sidney J. Furie, 1965), La captive (Chantal Akerman, 2000), Son of Saul (László Nemes, 2015) and In Water (Hong Sang Soo, 2023).

This is a preview of a premium episode. To the listen to the full thing, head over to our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/mason-currey At several points in his life, Eli imagined what it would take to become a full-time artist — a photographer or illustrator free from client work. What he didn't realize was that he already had an example of a different path right in front of him: his father, a practicing physician whose published poetry earned recognition from luminaries like John Ashbery. Mason Currey's most recent book explores these alternate paths. He's the author of Daily Rituals, the beloved book that catalogued the working habits of nearly 200 artists, writers, and composers. His new book, Making Art and Making a Living, goes deeper — into the financial realities, the schemes, the compromises, and the surprising strategies that creatives have used to keep their work alive across centuries. What he found is both humbling and strangely reassuring. Virginia Woolf had inherited investments. Kafka had insurance. Chantal Akerman had a cash register she skimmed from. John Cage had Italian game show winnings. And yet, running through all of it is the same question that Mason has been asking about his own life since the day he sat down to write a novel and couldn't: How am I going to pay for this? In this conversation, Mason walks us through the four funding models his book explores — family money, day jobs, patronage, and schemes — and what the lives of creatives from Kafka to Murakami can teach us about building a practice that actually lasts. Bio Mason Currey is the author of the Daily Rituals books, featuring brief profiles of the day-to-day working lives of more than 300 brilliant minds. His latest book, Making Art and Making a Living, was published by Celadon Books on March 31, 2026. Currey lives in Los Angeles and writes Subtle Maneuvers, a twice-monthly newsletter on the creative process. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better.

Lorna Simpson talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Simpson was born in Brooklyn, New York, 1960. Her conceptual approach to photography, and image-making more widely, reflects a desire to subvert the conventional framing of different forms of identity. From her early photo-text works to her recent paintings using found images, Lorna has explored the complexity of representation, and the visual and textual languages with which it is constructed. While she is deeply engaged with societal issues and historical inequities, and with the camera's time-honoured role as a documentary instrument, she blurs boundaries between reality and fiction, between witnessing and storytelling. The result is a practice that is precise and yet elusive, spare and yet capacious.She discusses how she achieves a balance between refusal and engagement to allow space for the viewer to enter her work. She talks about the role of the archive and history and how she navigates the use of existing images through various media. She reflects on her constant need to test herself through her work. She recalls the immense importance of discovering the work of David Hammons, how an exhibition of Francisco de Zurbarán at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York influenced her approach to image-making, and her connection to artists from Isaac Julien to Terry Adkins and Wangechi Mutu. She reflects on the importance of literature and writers including Robin Coste Lewis and Audre Lorde to her practice. And she discusses the vital importance of the films of Chantal Akerman. Plus, she gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Lorna Simpson, Punta della Dogana, Venice, until 22 November Hosted on Acast.

Women in Cinematography: Re-Release of "Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" (1975) with Sam Meltzer

Things got a little wonky this week, so we are re-releasing an episode that can keep with the theme of Women in Cinematography. 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."You can follow SamLetterboxdYou can follow Female Gaze: The Film ClubInstagramBlueSkyWebsite

At this year's Berlinale Film Festival, Wim Wenders declared that cinema is not political — so hosts Elliot Bloom and Kiriko Mechanicus, both speaking from their own diasporic experiences, decided to put that to the test. Moving through Persepolis, Incendies, Bend It Like Beckham, Girlhood, and Chantal Akerman's News from Home, they explore how diaspora cinema transforms the politics of borders and belonging into something deeply, unavoidably human. Because for anyone who has ever lived between cultures, cinema isn't just art — it's a second home.This episode is part of Diaspora Diaries, LAB111's curated season running January through March exploring stories of movement, identity, and belonging on the big screen.

On episode 140 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter discuss the final film in their Chantal Akerman series, A Couch in New York (1996). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. Chantal Akerman's late 1960s to 1970s output is what she is known for and highly celebrated for a time where the director was tapping into something artistically personal that resonates for decades to come. But what happens the rest of her career is a bit of sad, as she tried to chase the glory of her past work, delivering work that is fascinating given her early films, but rather aimless exercises. As the boys look at her past, they take a look at Akerman's attempt to make a Hollywood romantic comedy, with two leading stars of their times, but is missing the director's signature point of view and patience, thus making it a weird exercise to explore within her filmography. Ryan and Jay give their thoughts on the film, the strange premise of the film, Hurt and Binoche's lack of chemistry, if the ending makes sense, Akerman's documentary work with News From Home that is a much more vital piece of work from the director covering her time in New York. They also give out their rankings for the series and tease the new series they will be starting next week.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. It's not easy following up what people consider to be the greatest film of all time, but Akerman, her next feature film seemed to be another perfect, meticulous examination of a woman's journey through life, continuing the trend she's looked at within the first two films of this series. But what makes Les Rendez-vous d'Anna such a fascinating film is that the picture feels as if it's from someone who has lived a life, and as they enter their thirties, their reflection on who they are, what they've done in their life, and what their purpose becomes clearer as she meets more and more figures of her past. It's a blistering, meta look into the director's life at the time, and what she thought about choosing her art over a more normal type of life. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film and how they see the turning points of their lives reflected within the honest piece of cinema by Akerman.

Ryan, Jay, and Morgan break down their thoughts on the film, the methodical pace and structure of this portrait of a modern woman, her preparation for the various meals we see her make, her uneven relationship with her son, how missing someone you love has long term effects, the film's controversial ending, and so much more that includes Ryan breaking down the entire plot of the 2011 sci-fi action picture In Time.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. In a Howard Hughes like move, for close to two decades, the world got used to see Warren Beatty more as the arm candy for his wife at award shows and less so as a direct. But in the mid-2010s, Beatty finally got back to the director chair to make his long-awaited dream project, a film about the famous Hughes. It was a box office, critical disaster of epic proportions, but in the time of its release, and in the process of going over his directorial achievements, it's a bittersweet ending (potentially) to one of the most curious figures in Hollywood history, with the film becoming a meta commentary on where the world and Beatty see himself; it's really the films only redeeming quality. Ryan, Jay, and Trace break down the film, their thoughts on it, how Beatty mirrors Hughes later years, how it almost continues the story after the events of The Aviator, cream jeans, the cinemas in the greater Georgia area, the 2016 Oscar fiasco, whose fault it really was, some justice for Alden Ehrenreich, and a mention or two about Rob Lowe singing with Snow White at the Oscars (yes, it really happened).

Jennifer Khakshouri, Nina Kunz, Milo Rau und die Ärztin und Schauspielerin Natalia Conde diskutieren über «Organisch» von Giulia Enders, «Auf ganz dünnem Eis» von Peter Stamm, «ë» von Jehona Kicaj, «Eine Familie in Brüssel» von Chantal Akerman sowie über «Herscht 07769» von László Krasznahorkai. «Darm mit Charme» heisst der Bestseller, mit dem Giulia Enders noch als Medizinstudentin den Darm aus der Scham-Ecke befreit hat, witzig und wissenschaftlich fundiert. Nun – als promovierte Ärztin – legt sie mit «Organisch» in ihrem unverwechselbaren Stil nach: Die Lunge etwa vergleicht sie mit ihrer Urgrossmutter. Sie will, dass wir den Körper nicht länger als eine Art Maschine betrachten, sondern als lebendiges Ganzes. Der Schweizer Schriftsteller Peter Stamm umreisst in wenigen Worten ganze Leben. «Auf ganz dünnem Eis» heisst sein neuer Erzählband, in dem er Unspektakuläres spektakulär schildert. Ganz gewöhnliche Menschen am Wendepunkt. Einsame Menschen in der digitalen Welt. Die Figuren sind nahbar, beschrieben in knapper, klarer Sprache. Der Debutroman «ë» von Jehona Kicaj ist ein starkes Beispiel literarischer Vergangenheitsbewältigung. Seine Protagonistin ist mit ihren Eltern Ende der 1990er-Jahre aus dem Kosovokrieg nach Deutschland geflohen. Jetzt knirscht sie mit den Zähnen – so stark, dass ihre Zähne splittern. Das Schweigen fordert seinen Tribut. Der Roman führt vor Augen, wie wenig in Mitteleuropa über diesen Krieg Ende der 1990er-Jahre bekannt ist. «Eine Familie in Brüssel» ist ein Buch von Chantal Akerman, die vor allem als Filmemacherin berühmt war. Eine alte Frau berichtet darin in erlebter Rede über ihre Familie, die über die ganze Welt verstreut ist. Eine Familie, in der man kaum miteinander spricht, weil es Dinge gibt, die nicht berührt werden dürfen. Der atemlose Text ist auch eine Hommage an ihre eigene Mutter, die das Konzentrationslager von Auschwitz überlebte. László Krasznahorkai ist der diesjährige Nobelpreisträger. In seinen Werken beschreibt er regelmässig den Einbruch des Schreckens und der Gewalt in eine geschlossene Welt. Sein skurriler Roman «Herscht 07769» spielt in einer von Neonazis terrorisierten Kleinstadt im ostdeutschen Thüringen. Ein Gebäudereiniger sorgt sich um das drohende Weltende und wendet sich in verzweifelten Briefen an Angela Merkel.

Given her work in and around cinema, it's no surprise that Stephanie LaCava would write a novel that is, no small feat, cinematic. Said novel is Nymph, a slim and elliptical and fully satisfying character piece about a young woman, Bathory––called “Bat” for short––whose parents' strange lifestyle, either involving spy craft or assassinations or just being out-and-out weirdos, brings her down dark corners. Having known Stephanie for a little bit, I already knew she was worth talking to. (An important quality for any podcast guest.) But when she sent me the book last month, I read it with enough speed and relish that it was no question we should talk about Nymph, the Chantal Akerman and Abel Ferrara films that inspired it, and the complex personal feelings these things can raise. While I hope you like our conversation, I mostly hope it drives one to reading Stephanie's novel.

The 2025 Cannes Film Festival kicks off today...and the question on everyone's mind is: what will be the great movies? Mostly, people look to the Cannes Competition (the films that compete for the Palme d'Or) to find the best films. But it's a lesser-known fact that many amazing films screen in the festival's sidebars. And many of the best films in cinema history have screened in the festival's sidebars. In fact, Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, which was named the greatest film of all time in the 2022 Sight & Sound poll did not screen in competition! It screened in the Directors' Fortnight. So on today's episode, Alex peels back the curtain on how all the different parts of the Cannes Film Festival work together. And she talks about the amazing films you've heard of (and some you probably haven't) that have screened outside the festival's competition. And she talks about some of the films she's excited for this year. Finally, Alex talks about some of the films she's excited for in this year's competition, and how they were already making fantastic films years ago that were hiding out in the festival's sidebars. *** Become a Seventh Row Insider to stay updated on the best films at Cannes this year and in past years that you might not otherwise stumble upon *** Interested in picking up Seventh Row's ebooks on Lynne Ramsay, Joachim Trier, Joanna Hogg, Debra Granik, or Céline Sciamma?

We finally bring the brilliant, indelible work of Claire Denis to the pod with a discussion of her 1994 TV movie U.S. Go Home. Produced as part of the anthology series Tous les garcons et les filles de leur age… alongside work from other French visionaries like Chantal Akerman, Olivier Assayas and André Téchiné, Denis' film is an elliptical, compassionate coming-of-age story that regularly subverts expectations and never succumbs to the potentially regressive tendencies of its narrative milieu. We begin with some chatter about recent Hit Factory-featured filmmaker Edward Yang and a recent watch of his final work, Yi Yi. Then, we explore Denis' film - its lyrical formalism, its exquisite soundtrack - and how she crafts a work of simultaneously keen observation and hypnotic ambiguity.

We meet artist Carsten Höller for some perceptual playtime to celebrate New Year's Day! We explore Höller's collection of odd tasks and mischievous game-play.Carsten Höller invites readers to disrupt their daily lives with 336 mind-expanding diversions. They can be played alone, in pairs or in teams, in the street, in bed, on a train, wherever. No props or materials are needed. Just one body, all senses and a willingness to try something new, that's possibly conceptually or physically challenging, but guaranteed to entertain and to widen the player's horizons.Some games are more obviously daring than others – unexpectedly shouting ‘bang!' when your driver's reversing into a parking space is sure to elicit a reaction – but that's absolutely the point. Other games involve covertly dropping strange phrases into conversation, executing somersaults (without practice), or plucking hairs from your opponent's head while they stay poker-faced.Höller's scientific professional background informs his keenness to create what he calls Influential Environments. He wants to tease the brain while testing its limitations, through activity and passivity, agency and inertia. He conceived his first game with a group of friends in 1992, during a tedious dinner after an exhibition opening. Since then, he has collected and invented ideas, inspired by friends, life, the Surrealists, and Arthur Rimbaud. All games are illustrated with commissioned or pre-existing artworks and photographs. We find portraits by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, August Sander, and Nan Goldin next to paintings by Salvador Dalí; snapshots of Joseph Beuys plus son and Donna Haraway plus dog next to appointed pieces by Christine Sun Kim and Anri Sala; film stills by Chantal Akerman, extracts from Shakespeare as well as treasures from Höller's personal archive—and his mother's.Edited by Stefanie Hessler and Hans Ulrich Obrist, this book encourages readers to engage in playful yet cerebral experiments that will leave them with a sense of wonder, disorientation, and a subtle smirk on their face.As an artist, Carsten Höller conducts radical experiments. His “Influential Environments” explore alternative scenarios, reimagining possibilities for human behavior and interaction and have been shown in major installations and solo exhibitions internationally over the last two decades. In 2022, he opened his restaurant Brutalisten in Stockholm and presented the third iteration of The Double Club in Los Angeles in 2024. Born in 1961 in Brussels to German parents, Höller currently lives and works in Stockholm and Biriwa, Ghana.Follow @Carsten.Holler on Instagram. Hosted on Acast.

Today's great political film is Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), voted the greatest film of all time in the 2022 Sight and Sound poll. A classic of feminist cinema it is also a film about the meaning of time and the illusions of choice. How can a movie which shows a woman peeling potatoes in real time have you on the edge of your seat? If the personal is the political, what do three days in the life of a Belgian housewife tell us about the true nature of power?
