Robert Frank
Robert Frank (1924, Zurich, Switzerland) moved to the United States in 1950. In the 1950s, he was a leading photographer: his book The Americans portrays the underbelly of the country. Frank is regarded as one of the most important experimental underground film-makers of his time. Most of his films have been screened in Rotterdam.
