This is one of Scorsese's lesser known works, from 1974. A really fascinating piece :

Italianamerican is a 1974 documentary directed by Martin Scorsese and featuring Scorsese's parents, Catherine and Charles. The Scorseses talk about their experiences as Italian immigrants in New York City among other things, while having dinner at their flat on Elizabeth Street. Scorsese's mother also instructs how to cook her meatballs, a recipe later featured in the credits of the film. Among the subjects discussed in the film are family, religion, their origins, Italian ancestors, life in Italy after the war and the hardships of poor Sicilian immigrants in America striving to make money.

Yes, that's true. He was part of the editing team. He is credited as "montage supervisor".

Two years earlier he had also worked as one of the several editors of "Woodstock" (another was the great Thelma Schoonmaker, one of Scorsese's closest collaborators all through the years, starting in the mid-60s up to now).
