Guggenheim Symposium honoring legendary documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman.
Frederick Wiseman has brought a curious, patient and sensitive eye to a diverse spectrum of American culture during his prolific career as a documentarian. From a hospital to a high school, a welfare center to a police precinct, Wiseman’s films reveal the deep inner workings of American society. Whether they reflect the American Dream or American disillusionment, Wiseman’s camera observes human behavior in all its banal, complex, contradictory and unpredictable modes, particularly as they manifest within institutional structures. With extraordinary restraint and minimal intrusion or influence, Wiseman has trained his camera on welfare recipients and victims of domestic violence, doctors and soldiers, ballet dancers and factory workers, Benedictine monks and fashion models, offering striking observations on the grand panorama of American life. The festival will screen a series of excerpts from Wiseman’s body of documentary work. Following the screening, Wiseman will be joined by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim to engage in a discussion of his career.
