Robert Frank Films
Programme 3
Run
USA 1989, video, 3' 35
Frank's video for legendary British band New Order features a fragmentary plot characterised by resignation and solitude.
Run is a plea for deceleration, for the awkward and everyday.
Summer Cannibals / Patti Smith
USA 1996, 35mm, 5'
Shot in stark, rich black and white, this energetic short film documents Smith's sensual, growling performance of her cryptic
song Summer Cannibals.
Candy Mountain
Switzerland/France/Canada 1987, 35mm, 91'
Featuring cameos by Arto Lindsay, Joe Strummer and Tom Waits, Candy Mountain is a bitingly funny and unpretentious road movie
documenting Julius Brooke's quest for renowned guitar maker Elmore Silk.
The films are screened as part of the Robert Frank film series.
