A combination of a small market and tough times have done in New Yorker Films, an indie mainstay for 43 years. The great and challenging titles it handled included Claude Lanzmann's legendary nine-hour Holocaust documentary Shoah (1985), the Dardennes brothers' La Promesse (1996), and Werner Herzog's Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972, pictured). Lincoln Plaza Cinemas, operated by distributor founder Dan Talbot, is unaffected by the closing, small consolation for a historical loss.
