Part of the IUP Common Freshman Reader Program: Pittsburgh area filmmaker, José Muniain, produced this exceptional documentary, which has screened at the Three Rivers Film Festival (where it won the Audience Choice award) and the Latino International Film Festival in Los Angeles. It begins as film director Robert Young sits for his first formal portrait with Spanish painter Félix de la Concha in a studio in Pittsburgh's Hill District. As we watch de la Concha at work. Young discusses his career filming subjects ranging from nomadic Eskimo tribes to Sicilian slum-dwellers. In the process, the two artists discuss their calling. What drives them to do independent work? How do creative people find their subjects? How are they supported, thwarted and inspired by what goes on around them? (José Muniain; USA; 2006; 55 min) Sr. Muniain is scheduled to be in attendance; free admission; this series is presented by the IUP College of Fine Arts, Center for Film Studies, and Pittsburgh Filmmakers. Additional funding has been provided, in part, by PicturePA—a program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the IUP Department of English
