Conversations in Vermont
This screening, presented to complement the exhibition Robert Frank and Todd Webb: Across America, 1955, is included with Museum admission. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Robert Frank’s relationship with his children Pablo (1951–1994) and Andrea (1953–1974) is explored in his first overtly autobiographical film. He visits them at a free school in rural Vermont where he interviews them about their feelings, their upbringing, and what it was like to grow up in a bohemian world with parents who are artists.
Restoration by the Museum of Modern Art with support from the Celeste Bartos Fund for Film Preservation.
