"Completing the Picture: How DuArt Film & TV Opened Up the Frame for American Independent Film" thank you Moveable Fest for this wonderful read:

A Metrograph series highlights how the lab run by Irwin Young exposed the world to groundbreaking filmmakers, including his brother Robert.

"Nothing But a Man and Children of Fate are screening as part of a tribute to the film lab DuArt at Metrograph. Roemer made Nothing But a Man and Cortile Cascino with Robert Young, the filmmaker (The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez) and brother of DuArt head Irwin Young (as well as father of Andrew Young). But I first spoke with Roemer around ten years ago for an unpublished interview focused on the making of Nothing But a Man and The Plot Against Harry. The diversity of Roemer’s filmmaking in the ’60s was breathtaking, and perhaps not everyone was ready for a roving brand of realism (I include the middle-class Bronx of The Plot Against Harry) that recalls Jonathan Rosenbaum’s apt diagnosis: “Roemer is ultimately more interested in life than in movies—a classic commercial liability.” https://filmmakermagazine.com/115986-interview-michael-roemer-nothing-but-a-man-the-plot-against-harry/

"Sometimes unlikely forces shape whole artistic movements. There’s an argument made that New Hollywood was driven just as much by changes in entertainment business contract norms as it was by the cultural and political tides of the era. Similarly, discussion of the boom in US independent cinema in the 1980s and ’90s doesn’t often pay attention to a single company that helped facilitate the whole thing, merely by offering an affordable option by which productions could process their film stock. A new screening series at Metrograph, The Process, seeks to bring fresh attention to this overlooked element of film history, paying tribute to brothers Robert and Irwin Young." https://hyperallergic.com/753378/the-process-robert-irwin-young-metrograph/

Metrograph’s series The Process features films that were either directed by Robert M. Young or made with the help of Irving Young’s postproduction facility.

Directed by Robert M. Young: The true story of the Jewish Greek boxer Salamo Arouch, an undefeated middleweight champion interned at Auschwitz where he kept himself and his family alive only by fighting fellow internees for the pleasure of his SS guards, is the basis for Young’s fourth teaming with Olmos, who gives an understated performance as the camp’s slippery black marketeer and fixer. The first film shot on location in Auschwitz, anchored by Willem Dafoe’s gripping, disciplined, and utterly committed performance as Arouch. Tickets from Metrograph https://metrograph.com/film/?vista_film_id=9999002865 Screens at 2:00 PM.

Tonight at 9:45 PM! Directed by Robert Young: One of the great, rarely screened New York City movies of the 1970s, the Robert Altman-produced Rich Kids is the story of two precocious Upper West Side pre-teens, Franny and Jamie (Trini Alvarado and Jeremy Levy), who’ve largely been left to fend for themselves in the aftermath of the sexual revolution that’s turned their preoccupied, divorced parents’ lives upside down. A wistful comedy of upper-crust Manhattan mores, adult childishness, and children’s wisdom, and a time capsule from a disappeared NYC. Tickets: https://metrograph.com/film/?vista_film_id=9999002869
