Robert Kramer’s politics were as a radical as his approach to making films. A founder of the leftist Newsreel collective, he went on to direct documentaries and dramas, and films that blended both. Disgusted with the politics of the United States, he lived for decades in self-imposed exile in France.
Directed and narrated by Kramer’s longtime cinematographer and sometime producer, Richard Copans, LOOKING FOR ROBERT is a retrospective of Kramer’s work, and a love letter to a colleague and friend.
Copans assembles telling moments from groundbreaking films like ROUTE ONE/USA and DOC’S KINGDOM, and includes never-before-seen rushes. And he shares unique insights into Kramer’s sometimes unorthodox process. In one case, that meant setting off to film a 2,500-mile road movie over a period of five months — with only a five-page outline, and without watching any rushes the whole time.
While the relationship between the two men was at times stormy, Copans remained the “loyal indispensable helper.” He loads film, frantically keeps the money coming when a shoot goes over-budget, and sleeps in cheap motels, all to fulfill his friend’s vision. What emerges in LOOKING FOR ROBERT is not only an intimate portrait of an artist, but also the moving biography of a friendship.
“Highly recommended! Looking for Robert would be informative for any budding film director or producer to show a person's journey in creating their own story.” —Educational Media Reviews Online

32:41.400 --> 32:45.040
not to use their character
to enhance a documentary.
32:45.040 --> 32:46.160
No.
32:46.160 --> 32:48.960
The key idea is that like the filmmaker,
32:48.960 --> 32:50.160
all of the movie,
32:50.160 --> 32:53.760
every bit of it is a reflection
of his consciousness,
32:53.760 --> 32:55.400
whether we see him or not.
32:56.280 --> 32:58.560
Therefore, all is narrative,
32:58.560 --> 33:00.400
all is dramatic,
33:00.400 --> 33:01.680
but in a different way.
33:02.640 --> 33:05.640
It is a structure that
basically makes our point about
33:05.640 --> 33:08.120
documentaries in another way.
33:08.120 --> 33:09.600
They're not objective.
33:09.600 --> 33:13.280
They're not more or less
true than so-called fictions.
33:13.280 --> 33:15.480
They're only involved with experience,
33:15.480 --> 33:19.680
data with the observable
world in a different way.
33:19.680 --> 33:23.360
They are a document as a
fiction film of how the people
33:23.360 --> 33:25.440
who make them live them, see.

[photo rustling]
37:32.000 --> 37:36.240
I'd like the filming
to be quite emotional.
37:36.240 --> 37:38.840
I mean, it's not only--
The shoot itself.
37:38.840 --> 37:42.080
The shoot itself should be emotional.
37:42.080 --> 37:42.920
[Richard affirming]
37:42.920 --> 37:46.280
That for me is what I
like in doing movies.
37:46.280 --> 37:47.960
It's a group thing.
37:47.960 --> 37:50.120
So it's like it's a group.
37:50.120 --> 37:51.000
There are a lot of things,
37:51.000 --> 37:52.920
a lot of relations between people.
37:52.920 --> 37:53.760
I like that.
37:54.680 --> 37:56.880
It's a kind of adventure
because you start,
37:56.880 --> 37:58.560
you don't really know.
37:58.560 --> 38:00.040
You might think you know
38:00.040 --> 38:02.000
but generally it's a kind of adventure.
38:04.360 --> 38:07.040
I mean, what I like is that if it's good,
38:08.080 --> 38:10.360
you can really get
emotional while working,
38:10.360 --> 38:12.280
[Richard affirming]
which is like a privilege,
38:12.280 --> 38:14.640
which is something I like very much.
38:15.640 --> 38:20.080
And maybe I feel that with
women it's generally easier
38:20.080 --> 38:22.400
to get to that way of working.
38:22.400 --> 38:24.120
Maybe because of a difference
38:24.120 --> 38:26.760
around the question of competition, also?
38:26.760 --> 38:28.000
About competition.
Ego. Ego.
38:28.000 --> 38:30.120
About not being the macho and I'm better
38:30.120 --> 38:31.840
and I'm the better technician
and things like that,
38:31.840 --> 38:33.560
which I hate.
Right.
38:33.560 --> 38:36.160
Or also because, yeah.
38:39.360 --> 38:41.480
It's supposed to be more of,
38:41.480 --> 38:42.760
in the world of women,
38:42.760 --> 38:44.520
the idea of working with your emotions
38:44.520 --> 38:46.680
and your feeling and things like that.
38:46.680 --> 38:48.680
And I kind of relate
38:49.920 --> 38:52.240
in an easier way.
38:52.240 --> 38:53.680
I felt at some point
38:53.680 --> 38:55.800
during the shoot in Portugal
38:55.800 --> 38:58.080
that I was the woman for all you men.
38:58.920 --> 38:59.920
I'm very into that.
38:59.920 --> 39:02.280
I mean, the woman part of me is a lot,
39:02.280 --> 39:04.840
the part of me that makes things.
39:04.840 --> 39:06.960
I think that's true.
39:06.960 --> 39:08.720
It has nothing to do with desire.
39:08.720 --> 39:10.320
No. No. No. No. No.
39:10.320 --> 39:12.040
But it does have to do
with the relationship,
39:12.040 --> 39:14.120
even a flirting relationship and a loving.
39:14.120 --> 39:16.560
I mean that's exactly what we had.
39:16.560 --> 39:17.880
And the way you came.
39:17.880 --> 39:19.440
I mean, I was really down
39:19.440 --> 39:21.520
and unhappy for totally other reasons.
39:21.520 --> 39:23.560
And the way you came to me saying,
39:23.560 --> 39:25.080
"Is it because of me?"
39:25.080 --> 39:26.320
Right. That's me.
It was, okay,
39:26.320 --> 39:28.200
it's the paranoia was speaking,
39:28.200 --> 39:30.280
but I know it's the way I think,
39:30.280 --> 39:31.360
am I hurting you?
39:31.360 --> 39:32.240
Did I hurt you?
39:35.120 --> 39:37.440
Are my feelings hurting your feelings?
39:37.440 --> 39:39.040
It's a way of relating to people,
39:39.040 --> 39:41.880
which is not the usual man to man.
39:41.880 --> 39:43.320
Right. Not at all.
You know, that issue.
39:43.320 --> 39:44.600
Not at all.
That's the truth.
39:44.600 --> 39:47.400
That's probably why I like
a lot working with you.
39:47.400 --> 39:48.240
Yeah.
39:48.240 --> 39:49.800
That a feeling I had in other films,
39:49.800 --> 39:53.600
I mean, not only in
Portugal that's for sure.
39:53.600 --> 39:55.160
That's beautiful light.
39:55.160 --> 39:57.040
I'm very surprised.
39:57.040 --> 39:58.760
I mean, how can you tell in video?
39:58.760 --> 39:59.760
[Robert smirking]
It's so weird.
39:59.760 --> 40:01.000
Yeah, right now.
40:01.000 --> 40:04.920
Or is it later?
[people laughing]
40:04.920 --> 40:06.160
Good.
40:06.160 --> 40:07.200
Okay, thank you then.
40:08.440 --> 40:11.400
Fellas, are you becoming
citizens back there?
40:11.400 --> 40:13.080
Sit in the row please.
40:14.160 --> 40:15.600
Sir, are you becoming a citizen?
40:15.600 --> 40:16.440
Why are you in here?
40:16.440 --> 40:18.000
You're supposed to be
waiting out with the rest
40:18.000 --> 40:19.560
of the nice people out there.
40:19.560 --> 40:21.080
Okay, whatever the case.
40:21.080 --> 40:21.920
Okay, gotcha.
40:21.920 --> 40:23.400
Thank you very much.
40:23.400 --> 40:24.440
I made the exception.
40:27.120 --> 40:28.320
When I ask
40:29.800 --> 40:30.720
the rest of the people,
40:30.720 --> 40:32.520
the remaining friends and relatives,
40:32.520 --> 40:35.720
when I say I want all the women
seated as much as possible,
40:35.720 --> 40:38.760
the gentlemen sitting in the seats
40:38.760 --> 40:39.840
that are becoming citizens,
40:39.840 --> 40:42.280
do not relinquish your seats, please.
40:43.280 --> 40:44.120
For the guests,
40:44.120 --> 40:46.080
I want the males to stand up, the guests,
40:46.080 --> 40:47.640
and seat as many women as possible.
40:47.640 --> 40:49.800
But as far as citizenship goes,
40:49.800 --> 40:52.440
you guys stay in your seats.
40:52.440 --> 40:53.400
Okay, then finally,
40:53.400 --> 40:55.440
we all understand.
Yes.
40:56.360 --> 40:57.800
You like this, Richie?
40:57.800 --> 40:59.720
What, do you like it a lot?
40:59.720 --> 41:00.880
A little bit more?
More.
41:00.880 --> 41:02.120
We are on film, gang.
41:02.120 --> 41:03.160
It's very real. Let's go.
41:03.160 --> 41:04.080
Yes.
Yes.
41:05.080 --> 41:06.200
We could do it.

"Or sovereignty."
41:13.080 --> 41:15.720

"Of whom or which."
41:15.720 --> 41:18.360
"I have heretofore."
"I have heretofore."
41:18.360 --> 41:21.840
"Been a subject or citizen."
"Been a subject or citizen."
41:21.840 --> 41:23.480
"That I will support and defend."
41:23.480 --> 41:25.440
"That I will support and defend."
41:25.440 --> 41:27.040
"The Constitution and the laws."
41:27.040 --> 41:28.800

41:28.800 --> 41:30.560
"Of the United States of America."
41:30.560 --> 41:34.720

47:00.840 --> 47:03.320
Eventually all these movies will make
47:03.320 --> 47:05.200
up one long film,
47:05.200 --> 47:08.160
one story in a continuous
process of becoming,
47:09.400 --> 47:11.840
a detailed account of
a consciousness moving
47:11.840 --> 47:13.240
through time and place,
47:13.240 --> 47:15.000
trying to survive,
47:15.000 --> 47:18.360
trying to find an appropriate
home and throughout it all,
47:18.360 --> 47:19.800
living with images,
47:19.800 --> 47:24.040
with film form as the
one continuous practice
47:24.040 --> 47:26.160
that unified this project.
47:26.160 --> 47:29.680
[film reel whirring]
47:29.680 --> 47:32.560
Perhaps the long film will have chapters.
47:33.560 --> 47:34.400
In that case,
47:34.400 --> 47:35.240
the work from 1965 to 1977
will make up chapter one,
47:35.240 --> 47:40.160
"The New World".
47:41.880 --> 47:44.160
Chapter two, eight movies made abroad
47:44.160 --> 47:47.640
between 1980 and 1987 we can just call,
47:47.640 --> 47:48.880
"Running", for now.
47:50.760 --> 47:51.600
And chapter three,
47:51.600 --> 47:54.600
I don't know what to call it yet.

55:18.680 --> 55:21.080
Now, 23 years later,
55:21.080 --> 55:23.560
I'm here again and again to make this film
55:23.560 --> 55:26.440
that will be called "Starting Place".
55:26.440 --> 55:28.360
Not really about Vietnam,
55:28.360 --> 55:30.520
but about the passing of time,
55:30.520 --> 55:33.640
about forgetting the great
changes that have taken place
55:33.640 --> 55:36.000
and about how hope for better days
55:36.000 --> 55:38.280
has turned into something else.
55:39.640 --> 55:42.960
But this film will not
be bitter or nostalgic.
55:42.960 --> 55:45.520
Rather, it will hover around a void,
55:45.520 --> 55:47.400
a lack in our lives.
55:47.400 --> 55:50.440
I think I am making a film about absence
55:50.440 --> 55:53.200
and my own inability
to answer the question,
55:54.400 --> 55:58.080
why continue to get up every
day and fight stupidity,
55:58.920 --> 56:02.120
for what individual or collective benefit,
56:02.120 --> 56:05.200
only to survive or to keep fighting?
56:05.200 --> 56:06.600
[photo rustling]
56:06.600 --> 56:09.920
This question is not just about Vietnam.
56:35.320 --> 56:39.880
[Linda smirking]
[Linda sniffing]
56:39.880 --> 56:40.720
I don't know.
56:40.720 --> 56:45.600
That's one of the things about
taking responsibility in here
56:46.960 --> 56:49.480
to try to be a positive force
56:50.760 --> 56:51.880
is that
56:55.160 --> 57:00.040
when any of us cut ourselves
off from people on the outside
57:00.040 --> 57:02.080
that are trying to do the same thing,
57:02.080 --> 57:05.560
[Linda inhaling deeply]
57:05.560 --> 57:08.920
it's a way of being resigned to something
57:08.920 --> 57:10.520
that we shouldn't be resigned to
57:12.120 --> 57:14.320
as far as their power over us
57:14.320 --> 57:18.000
and their ability to isolate us, you know.
57:19.520 --> 57:21.960
[Linda sniffing]
Yeah.
57:22.800 --> 57:24.600
Just philosophically, that's the balance,
57:24.600 --> 57:28.600
that's the struggle for me is balancing
57:29.760 --> 57:33.680
living here
[Linda tapping finger]
57:38.440 --> 57:41.000
and still trying to take responsibility
57:41.000 --> 57:47.560
for a larger vision and
connections to the world
57:47.720 --> 57:49.200
and to people outside,
57:49.200 --> 57:51.880
and trying to communicate with them
57:51.880 --> 57:56.320
with you what life in prison is all about.
57:58.440 --> 58:01.200
[Linda sniffing]
58:11.040 --> 58:12.480
[Linda sniffing]
58:12.480 --> 58:14.560
It's impossible to be disattached

01:07:02.360 --> 01:07:05.720
I will always try to
understand you, Diana.
01:07:05.720 --> 01:07:08.520
I'll always try to let you
know what I'm thinking.
01:07:08.520 --> 01:07:10.200
I'll always try to support you.
01:07:11.520 --> 01:07:14.160
I will always try to successfully blend
01:07:14.160 --> 01:07:16.800
our lives together with enough freedom.
01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:18.920
[Diana chuckling]
[Junior smirking]
01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:21.320
Enough freedom to grow as individuals,
01:07:21.320 --> 01:07:23.280
and that's all I remember.
01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:27.120
That's all you remember?
That's how almost all of it.
01:07:27.120 --> 01:07:29.000
[footsteps plodding on floor]
01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:32.800
I'm not gonna say my line.
[Junior rejecting]
01:07:32.800 --> 01:07:33.840
Why don't we try it again
01:07:33.840 --> 01:07:36.160
and see if that's all
Junior could remember.
01:07:37.200 --> 01:07:38.040
Okay.
Me? Me?
01:07:38.920 --> 01:07:39.760
Yeah.
Yeah.
01:07:42.320 --> 01:07:45.440
I will strive for my own goals
and help you achieve yours.
01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:48.240
I will always try to
understand you, Diana.
01:07:48.240 --> 01:07:51.440
I will always try to let you know.
01:07:51.440 --> 01:07:53.520
[Junior chuckling]
Come on, Junior.
01:07:53.520 --> 01:07:56.760
Junior, you can. Come on.
01:07:56.760 --> 01:07:58.200
I will always try to support you.
01:07:58.200 --> 01:08:02.880
I will always try.
[Junior stuttering]
01:08:02.880 --> 01:08:04.560
There I go. I stuttered already.
01:08:04.560 --> 01:08:05.640
I stuttered.
[Diana chuckling]
01:08:05.640 --> 01:08:06.600
I can't believe it.
[Diana chuckling]
01:08:06.600 --> 01:08:09.120
Would you concentrate on the wedding?
01:08:09.120 --> 01:08:11.320
All right.
Please?
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:12.480
I was until before.
01:08:12.480 --> 01:08:14.720
Okay, you wanna do it again?
01:08:14.720 --> 01:08:16.480
You still rolling?
Yeah.
01:08:16.480 --> 01:08:17.640
[Junior breathing deeply]
01:08:17.640 --> 01:08:19.080
I will strive for my own goals
01:08:19.080 --> 01:08:20.280
and help you achieve yours.
01:08:20.280 --> 01:08:23.640
I will always try to let
you know what I am thinking.
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:25.920
I'll always try to support you.
01:08:25.920 --> 01:08:28.800
I'll always try to successfully blend
01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:31.000
our lives together with enough freedom
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:34.160
and to grow as individuals.
01:08:34.160 --> 01:08:36.720
I have never thought I
found the right person
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:38.720
to love until I met you.
01:08:38.720 --> 01:08:40.760
And since I have always thought
01:08:40.760 --> 01:08:43.640
that love is the most
important part of my life,
01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:45.080
I want our love to last.
01:08:46.040 --> 01:08:49.400
So I will try my hardest
at all times to be fair
01:08:49.400 --> 01:08:52.360
and honest with you and
to love you forever.
01:08:53.640 --> 01:08:56.360
I will always love you
with special regardless
01:08:56.360 --> 01:08:59.200
of what event occur in our lives.
01:08:59.200 --> 01:09:00.880
I will always love you
01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:03.240
and respect you for the rest of my life.
