Merchant Ivory (2024)
The first definitive feature documentary to lend new and compelling perspectives on the partnership, both professional and personal, of director James Ivory, producer Ismail Merchant, and their primary associates, writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and composer Richard Robbins. Footage from more than fifty interviews, clips, and archival material gives voice to the family of actors and technicians who helped define Merchant Ivory’s Academy Award-winning work of consummate quality and intelligence. With six Oscar winners among the notable artists participating, these close and often long-term collaborators intimately detail the transformational cinematic creativity and personal and professional drama of the wandering company that left an indelible impact on film culture.

Director Stephen Soucy began developing the documentary in 2019, after completing a five-minute short animated film, Rich Atmosphere: The Music in Merchant Ivory Films, with James Ivory providing the narration for the project.
He conducted interviews with surviving Merchant Ivory collaborators in locations including New York, London, Paris, and Mumbai, with Ivory’s home in Claverack, New York, significantly featured.
