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. In Robert Frank’s footsteps is a 15,000 miles odyssey through contemporary America, moving between past and present, photography and cinema, and two Americas, separated by time.

Philippe Séclier is a journalist. He has edited two photographic books, Hôtel Puerto and La Longue Route de Sable on a text by Pier Paolo Pasolini, which won the Thomas Cook prize. From 1999 to 2002, he worked on the Chilean photographer Sergio Larrain for an upcoming book and exhibition. In 2004, using archival images, he made a 52-minute documentary about Marc Riboud, called Instants d’année (2004). That film was acquired by the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP). In 2006 he collaborated with Magnum on Magnum, 60 ans, a book celebrating their 60th anniversary. Since spring 2007, Philippe has been working with photographer and filmmaker Raymond Depardon on various projects.
