Robert Frank: The free gaze of a radical image artist
Robert Frank is regarded as one of the defining voices of 20th century photography. His photo book The Americans made him internationally famous and became a key work of an entire generation. MoMA describes Frank's work as the gaze of an outsider that made visible the tensions of society, everyday life, and identity with great directness.

Laura Israel shapes a cinematic artist portrait
Director Laura Israel, a long-time editor and companion of Frank, condenses archival material, memories, and excerpts from a vibrant artistic life into an intimate documentary. The result is not a distant biopic but a close examination of works about spontaneity, intuition, and the connection of photography, film, music, and video.

From photo book to moving image
The film shows Robert Frank in the midst of his creative environment: with artist friends, with June Leaf, with images and sounds that reflect his attitude towards contemporary art. This is precisely where the special atmosphere of this evening's exhibition lies: those who come will experience not only a film but a condensed approach to an artistic attitude that continues to resonate today.
