Programme 6
C'est vrai! (One Hour)
France 1990, colour video, 60’
A one-hour trip through Manhattan's Lower East Side that captures the uncanny intimacy of New York street life and presents
a volatile mix of chance and control.
Last Supper
Switzerland/UK, colour 16mm, 50’
In an empty lot in Harlem, an elite group of New Yorkers prepares for a book-signing party given in honour of a writer who
never arrives. Neighbourhood residents must navigate the reception as the guests obsess about identity, status and success.
Finally, the writer's fears and doubts are understood, with ironic implications.
The Robert Frank film series is screened in connection with the Tate Modern exhibition.
