Event
An American Journey
(Philippe Sclier, 2008, France, DVCAM, 60 min)
More than 50 years ago, in 1958, Robert Franks seminal book, The Americans, was published to great acclaimas well as to negative reviews that faulted his vision of a nation awash in poverty, racism and postwar jingoism. Today it is impossible to overstate the influence of Franks groundbreaking work. An American Journey travels back to the small towns and rural communities the photographer immortalized, exploring the world as Frank saw it and as it survives today. Artist Edward Ruscha, publisher Barney Rosset, photographers John Cohen and Raymond Depardon and curators/critics Vicki Goldberg, Sarah Greengough and Peter Galassi explore the feelings of anger and alienation which fueled the Swiss-born Robert Frank in his American journey.
