Merchant Ivory

Merchant Ivory is a feature documentary film produced and directed by Stephen Soucy in collaboration with Oscar-winner, Director and Screenwriter, James Ivory.

The film is the definitive presentation and tribute to the Merchant Ivory partnership, anchored by interviews with James Ivory and forty-one Merchant Ivory close collaborators detailing and celebrating their experiences of being a part of the “wandering company” helmed by legendary producer Ismail Merchant.

With six Academy Award-winners among the notable artists participating, including Emma Thompson and Vanessa Redgrave, the documentary provides new and compelling perspectives on a unique partnership that produced seminal films over four decades.

"More important and radically, the film explores groundbreaking depictions of the inner lives of gay men in several Merchant Ivory films." Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times
