Leaving Home, Coming Home

A Portrait of Robert Frank

A transformative artist and one of the most insightful chroniclers of American life, legendary Swiss-American photographer Robert Frank continues to fascinate generations of casual observers and aspiring photographers alike. LEAVING HOME, COMING HOME is the definitive account of Frank's life and the unique ways his biography and art intersect to produce powerful, richly textured images.

Shot in cinema-verite style between New York and Nova Scotia, where Robert Frank now lives, the film captures the photographer reflecting on a lifetime of image making that most famously produced "The Americans," probably the most influential photographic book of the last sixty years.

Official Selection at the Tribeca Film Festival.
