It takes an impassioned look at Frank’s creative process, starting with The Americans – the book that revolutionised photojournalism – before moving back and forth into his career, from his involvement with the Beats, the Rolling Stones and 1960s counter culture, to his lesser-known career in filmmaking. Director Laura Israel has been working as Frank’s editor for nearly 20 years and their long-standing friendship, and her remarkable editing skills, make this a unique, compelling and creatively rich documentary.

Fans will be giddy with the unprecedented access to Frank—and his irrepressible irascibility, energy, and humour—this film offers. Those uninitiated into the cult of Robert Frank should be prepared for a wild and wonderful ride. 

“Don't Blink is a friendly film by a friend - honest and historically aware, but almost unfailingly affectionate and attuned to the "spontaneous intuition" that, 92 years after his birth, still seems the governing principle of Frank's life.” – JAMES ADAMS, GLOBE AND MAIL
