Documentary/History
Mapping key hotspots of America's self-presentation in the 20th century (industry, democracy, modernism and the suburban frontier), this program presents four masterworks of the sponsored film. MASTER HANDS is a Depression-era industrial symphony that employs the style of socialist realism to promote free enterprise; TUESDAY IN NOVEMBER, directed by John Houseman with the assistance of Nicholas Ray for the U.S. Office of War Information, an eloquent promotion of American political democracy; AMERICAN LOOK, a Technicolor widescreen spectacular extolling mid-century design; and IN THE SUBURBS, an unexpectedly innovative blend of avant-garde technique and hard-edged selling. MASTER HANDS (1936) TUESDAY IN NOVEMBER (1945) AMERICAN LOOK (1958) IN THE SUBURBS (1957)

In contemporary photography, everybody agrees there is a “before” and an “after” The Americans, Robert Frank’s 1958 photographic manifesto. Half a century later, French director Philippe Séclier decided to follow in Robert Frank’s footsteps to explore the spirit of the “Beat Generation” and the impact of his book, The Americans, not only on the art of photography, but also on American culture. From Texas to Montana, from Nebraska to Louisiana, from New York to San Francisco, An American Journey is a 15,000 miles odyssey through contemporary America, moving between past and present, photography and cinema, and two Americas, separated by time.
