The Met presents these two films directed by Robert Frank to accompany the special exhibition Looking In: Robert Frank’s "The Americans," on view now through December 27. Life-raft Earth documents a "happening" about world hunger (37 min.) and About Me: A Musical is a symbolic self-examination of Frank's contribution as a photographer (35 min.). The screening will take place in the Bonnie J. Sacerdote Lecture Hall in the Uris Center for Education at 2 p.m.
