June’s edition of CULT! features the photographic and cinematic work of Robert Frank, with a screening of Philippe Séclier’s An American Journey.

The National Museum of Cinema dedicates its usual monthly CULT! evening to the photographic and cinematic work of Robert Frank with a screening of Philippe Séclier’s documentary An American Journey.

This French film director’s documentary is the result of a journey he made, 50 years on, to retrace the steps of Robert Frank, to remember the spirit of the Beat Generation and to analyse the impact that The Americans – the book Frank published in 1958, considered one of the Beat movement’s manifestos – had, not only on the world of art, but on American culture generally.

From Texas to Montana, from Nebraska to Louisiana, from New York to San Francisco, An American Journey is a 15,000-mile trip through modern-day America, a country constantly balanced between the past and the present, between film and photography and between two Americas, that of today and that of 50 years ago. Afterwards, there will be a screening of an anthology of Robert Frank’s films. Admission: 3.00 euros.
