Don't Blink - Robert Frank

“Illuminating biopic of the game-changing photographer/filmmaker made . . . with the full cooperation and enjoyment of its irascible subject.” (Artforum)

The notoriously press-averse photographer Robert Frank—best known for his iconic portraits of factory workers, cowboys, and the country’s love affair with the road in The Americans—opened up his studio to director Laura Israel for this “textured account of the artist’s life and work.” (InterviewDon’t Blink returns to the JBFC for a single screening, with a bonus—a May 6 program featuring two of Frank’s rarely seen Beat films, Pull My Daisy and Me and My Brother, on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

This film is part of the FrameWorks 2017: Art on Film series.
