Roger Jacoby[edit]

Roger Jacoby (1944 – 1985) was a filmmaker, artist, and pianist. He is most well known for hand-processing his films, a technique he started experimenting with in 1972 for both financial and aesthetic reasons.^[1]

For a number of years, beginning in the early 1970s, Jacoby lived in Pittsburgh, PA with his lover Ondine, a Warhol superstar. ^[2] During this time he was an active presence in the local film community.^[3] He also played piano for the silent film screenings at the Carnegie Museum of Art. His film Dream Sphinx Opera stars Ondine and Sally Dixon, the founder of the film department at the Carnegie Museum of Art.^[4]

Jacoby was a subject of Jim Hubbard’s film Elegy in the Streets (1989), which intertwined footage of Jacoby before he died on AIDS in 1985 and the development of the ACT-UP movement.^[5]
