    Photographer, filmmaker discusses his lifelong work and collaborations with actors, musicians

    logo_siff5_TBSedona AZ (July 29, 2019) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the award-winning film “Leaving Home, Coming Home: A Portrait of Robert Frank” showing Monday, Aug. 5 at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    Completed in 2004, “Leaving Home, Coming Home: A Portrait of Robert Frank” was the first ever feature-length documentary about the legendary Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker. Originally deemed too personal to be shown widely, the film has just been authorized by Frank for theatrical release.

    Completed in 2004, “Leaving Home, Coming Home: A Portrait of Robert Frank” was the first ever feature-length documentary about the legendary Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker. Shot in cinema-verité style between New York and Nova Scotia, where Frank now lives, the film captures Frank reflecting on a lifetime of image making that most famously produced “The Americans” — probably the most influential photographic book of the last sixty years.

    From the Lower East Side to Coney Island, Frank revisits places where he lived and photographed, unsentimentally yet humorously noting the erosion of the New York. He recalls his collaborations with the Beat generation, including his film “Pull my Daisy”, narrated by Jack Kerouac, as well as his infamous “Cocksucker Blues” with The Rolling Stones.

    Affectionate conversations with Frank’s second wife, the vibrant artist June Leaf, reveal decades of closeness, creative exchange and support through the intense tragedies of Frank’s life. In rare moments of vulnerability, Frank speaks movingly about these tragedies and his attempts to cope through his deeply personal photography and films.

    “An intimate portrait of a great American photographer and filmmaker. Takes the viewer deep inside (Gerald Fox’s) subject’s personal and creative life. Fascinating. Fox has managed to communicate something important about the real man behind the artist.” — Variety

    “A superb document. An authoritative, remarkably candid and often moving story.” — Time Out

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
