Jose Muniain invited storied independent filmmaker Robert M. Young to talk about his half-century of work while sitting for his portrait in oils by local Spanish – born painter Félix de la Concha. Thus is the documentarian documented. It makes you want to see Young’s work - from national Geographic wildlife specials to documentaries about U.S civil-rights movement an Italian slums, and fiction feature about Mexican inmigrant. Young’s generously excerpted work, de la Concha’s canvas-in-progress and Muniain’s imaginative editing combine in a package that’s sensually pleasing and full of ideas. And you’ll be surprised how well you feel you know both men when you watch de la Concha’s pleasure at Young’s reaction to the finish portrait.
