With a hand-held Leica and an outsider’s take on American society, photographer Robert Frank took over 20,000 photos, chose 83 of them to be published in “The Americans” and forever changed our national self-image. The L.A. Film Forum, in conjunction with MOCA’s current Robert Frank exhibit, presents four short films by and about this great photographer. Beginning with the documentary “Fire in the East: A Portrait of Robert Frank,” which includes interviews with collaborators Allen Ginsberg and Jonas Mekas, the series ends with three of Frank’s own works about intimacy, art and anonymity.
