• The Hamptons Doc Fest’s 2022 Brown Harris Stevens Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature is the film “Turn Every Page: The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb,” which played on December 4 to a sold-out house at Sag Harbor Cinema, the festival announced this week. Directed by Robert Gottlieb’s daughter Lizzie Gottlieb, the nearly two-hour film that is due for release Dec. 30 explores the remarkable and contentious 50-year relationship between the two literary legends—writer Robert Caro, 86 (who has a house in East Hampton), and his longtime editor Robert Gottlieb, 91, as they worked to publish Caro’s earlier Pulitzer Prize-winning biography “The Power Broker” about master builder Robert Moses, and the five volumes of Caro’s masterpiece “The Years of Lyndon Johnson”—the fifth volume of which is yet to be completed.
