Arena Last Supper - Frank on Frank

on BBC Two England

A self-portrait of photographer and film maker Robert Frank.
Often called the "eyes of the Beats", Frank's work spans 45 years from his influential book of photographs The Americans in the 1950s to a controversial
Rolling Stones documentary in 1972 and a recent photographic assignment in Beirut.
For this new film, Frank took personal friends, actors and a film crew to Harlem to create a dramatised exploration of his idea that we all carry a gallery of people in our heads. He believes that a portrait of them is a portrait of the person who chooses to remember them.
