This event has passed.

Robert Frank’s friend and longtime collaborator Laura Israel has assembled a palpable portrait of the reclusive artist set to the music of The Rolling Stones, Charlie Mingus, and The Velvet Underground. Recently described by the New York Times as “the world’s greatest living photographer” part-time Nova Scotian Robert Frank has also directed dozens of films and videos including Pull My DaisyCocksucker Blues, and Candy Mountain.

Laura Israel cut her teeth editing award-winning commercials and music videos while still a film student at NYU. By the time she graduated she had formed her own editorial company, Assemblage. Her client list included: Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Keith Richards, Sonic Youth, New Order, David Byrne, artists Laurie Simmons and Robert Frank.  The films she edited with Frank have screened all over the world and won many awards. Windfall, her debut doc, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and won top prize at Doc NYC.

A Q+A with Laura Israel will follow the screening.
