EXCLUSIVE: DCTV, the nonprofit acclaimed as “New York City’s preeminent community of and for documentary storytellers,” is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a series spotlighting the work of DCTV founders, the filmmaking couple Keiko Tsuno and Jon Alpert.
The series DCTV @ 50 kicks off September 21 at DCTV Firehouse Cinema in lower Manhattan with a screening of Third Avenue: Only the Strong Survive, a 1980 documentary directed by Tsuno and produced by Alpert.
The filmmakers will participate in a Q&A as part of the evening’s program. The September 26 program for the DCTV @ 50 series will be dedicated to exploring the documentary legacy of late actor James Gandolfini, who joined the DCTV board in 2012, a year before his untimely death at age 51. “DCTV knew James Gandolfini as a committed advocate for the rights and welfare of America’s war veterans,” DCTV said in a release. “We proudly worked with him on several documentaries, including Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq and Wartorn: 1861-2010.” Those two documentaries will screen on September 26, followed by a panel discussion with Gandolfini’s son Michael Gandolfini, who will be joined by Jon Alpert and Tom Richardson.
Tsuno first began making films in 1969. She earned an Emmy nomination for producing Cuba and the Cameraman, a 2017 documentary directed by Alpert.
