Beyond the Frame
Beyond the Frame is the Jacob Burns Film Center’s ongoing series focused on art and the stories behind it. Travel to museums around the world or visit artists’ studios to learn more about the creative process and get an up-close look at art’s past and present. These documentaries will give expert insight to the histories and techniques of the art form itself and perhaps even a newfound appreciation for the art found all around us.
