Frank Films

"Frank Films fills a long overdue gap by providing a comprehensive overview of Frank's films. Essays by Amy Taubin, Philip Brookman, Stefan Griseman, Bert Rebhandl, Thomas Müssiggang, Kent Jones, and Michael Barchet/Pia Neuman discuss the history and the aesthetics of Frank's film work. Shorter essays by various authors examine every film and video by Frank in detail. The book offers a visually unique approach to Frank's films: at his request only new stills taken from video tapes were used. The numerous video images add up to a visual essay on Frank's cinema that enters in an engaging dialogue with his photographic work, in particular his stills created since the 1970s"--édition.
