following Robert Frank’s footsteps fifty years after the Americans, French filmmaker Philippe Seclicer retraces Frank’s trip around United States in 1955 and 1956. Using the same unplanned, intuitive aprroach Frank pioneered, and working with only a small digital camera, Seclicer explores the spirit of the Beat Generation and impact of The American on photograph and culture in his 15000-mile odyssey through present-day America.
