"Turn Every Page: The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb," which played to a sold-out house at the Sag Harbor Cinema on Dec. 4 as part of the 15th annual Hamptons Doc Fest, has been named the winner of the 2022 Brown Harris Stevens Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Five years in the making, the film explores the 50-year relationship between the two literary titans -- the author Robert Caro, 86, who has a house in East Hampton, and his longtime editor, Robert Gottlieb, 91.

Directed by Lizzie Gottlieb, Robert's daughter, the film focuses in part on Mr. Caro's masterworks, "The Power Broker," his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Robert Moses, and "The Years of Lyndon Johnson," whose fifth volume has yet to be completed.

It also explores their relationship, and their editing process, which "can be contentious and prickly," wrote The Star when the film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June. "It was made by a director who understands that creative endeavors have innate tension and drama, mostly from witnessing them in her own household."

"Congratulations to director Lizzie Gottlieb, to producers Joanne Nerenberg and Jen Small for their film ‘Turn Every Page: The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb,’ on winning the Brown Harris Stevens Audience Award," said Jacqui Lofaro, the festival's founder and executive director. "We couldn’t be happier."

In the post-screening conversation with Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan, the cinema's artistic director, Mr. Caro and Ms. Gottlieb announced that the film will be released in theaters on Dec. 30.
