The life and career of Robert Frank, both as a photographer and filmmaker, are so closely connected that they are essentially one entity. His extensive journey, from the creation of “The Americans” in 1958 to his current work, is deeply reflected in his impressive collection of artistic expressions. Since the early 1990s, Frank has collaborated with the talented editor Laura Israel on his films and videos, maintaining a personal touch and capturing the initial spark between the camera and its subjects. “Don’t Blink” is Israel’s kindred portrayal of her friend and collaborator, offering a vibrant mix of images, sounds, memories, profound losses, and friendships. It provides a swift and fleeting glimpse into the life of the Swiss-born man who transformed himself in the American style and continues to thrive on his self-made path at the age of 90.
