Film Screening and Q&A with the Directors: Another Light on the Road: Robert Frank and June Leaf’s Canadian Home [work in progress]

Join us for a screening of Another Light on the Road: Robert Frank and June Leaf’s Canadian Home [work in progress], 2024, directed by Kathryn Whalen and John Parlante. Presented in conjunction with June Leaf: Shooting from the Heart, the film provides a portrait of Leaf and the hardscrabble seaside farmhouse and studio she shared for 50 years with her husband, Robert Frank, in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Another Light in the Road stands as a testament not only to the artist couple’s powerfully intimate and creative relationship but also to their enduring ties to the Mabou community of Cape Breton, as we see friends and neighbors gather in the warmth of her kitchen to share colorful stories.

The museum will remain open through 6:30 pm on this day so that program attendees may view the exhibition before the film screening.

Following the screening the directors will take questions from the audience.

This free program will be presented in Kemper Auditorium. Registration is required (see below).
