Robert Frank Films
Programme 2

Sunday 28 November 2004, 15.00

Programme duration 108’

Moving Pictures
Robert Frank, USA1994, video, 16.5’
Weaving between photography, found footage, projected footage, and filmed reality, this silent work reflects  Frank’s interest in the temporal and spatial transitions between photography and film. Silence and emptiness prevail as the fragmentary nature of memory is reordered in an associative sequence parallel to the fragmentary nature of the photographic image. 

Me And My Brother
Robert Frank, USA1965-1968 (re-edited 1997), 35mm, 91’
Pitting the counterfeit against the authentic and acting against being, Frank’s first feature length film is a docu-fiction that describes the inner and outer worlds of Julius, the catatonic brother of poet Peter Orlovsky. The film was re-edited in 1997 to mark the passing of Allen Ginsberg.
