Overview

Cest vrai - (One Hour) 60 minutes, 1990: This film is a single-take of Robert Frank and actor Kevin O'Connor either walking or riding in the back of a mini-van through a few blocks of Manhattan's Lower East Side. How much this is a tossed-off home movie about Frank's neighbourhood and how much its a contrived board game spread out over several city blocks remains an unanswered question. Last Supper - 50 minutes, 1992: Guests arrive at a vacant loft in Harlem, which is surrounded by rundown apartment buildings. A writer intends to celebrate the publication of his latest book with his friends, all white and middle-class. But the host never shows up. Instead the camera follows the guests to the party and on their way home. African-Americans from the neighbourhood are closely watching the party, making the guests feel awkward. Run/New Order - 3 1/2 minutes, 1989: While making a music video for the British band New Order in 1989 Frank refused to follow the usual guidelines. Although he did produce a three-minute thirty-second film as called for in his contract, thereby providing a visual basis for New Orders song Run, he created images which contrasted starkly with the industry's assumptions and presumptions.
