In Frederick Wiseman’s masterful documentary La Danse, he provided an X-ray of the ballet that’s part of the Opéra de Paris and it is impossible not to flash back to that work when watching The Paris Opera (L’Opera), a nonfiction film from Swiss director Jean-Stephane Bron that tries to provide an overview of the entire institution of the title, which also puts on operas, concerts and recitals. Like all of Wiseman’s work and some of Bron’s own nonfiction output, which includes features such as Cleveland versus Wall Street and The Blocher Experience, there are no on-camera interviews here. Instead, Bron...

This gorgeously photographed documentary charts the takeover of Paris Opera Ballet by the charismatic Benjamin Millepied
In 2009 veteran documentarian Frederick Wiseman released La Danse, an exhaustive, austere film, which explored the Paris Opera Ballet. It’s tempting to think that Wiseman’s fascinating, nearly three-hour documentary is the only film you need to watch about this somewhat stuffy institution. But then Benjamin Millepied took over as artistic director of the world’s oldest ballet company, and a new chapter started. If Wiseman’s restrained, thoughtful approach echoes the cautious atmosphere of the Ballet as it was, this stylish, dynamic picture captures the new energy that Millepied injected into this august organisation.
A maverick talent best known outside the world of ballet for choreographing Black Swan and marrying Natalie Portman, Millepied is as charismatic as he is unconventional. This glossy, gorgeously photographed documentary focuses on the 39 days running up to the...

The Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted Tuesday night (August 30) to present Honorary Awards to actor Jackie Chan, film editor Anne V. Coates, casting director Lynn Stalmaster and documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman. The four Oscar statuettes will be presented at the Academy’s 8th Annual Governors Awards on Saturday, November 12, at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center.
“The Honorary Award was created for artists like Jackie Chan, Anne Coates, Lynn Stalmaster and Frederick Wiseman – true pioneers and legends in their crafts,” said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. “The Board is proud to honor their extraordinary achievements, and we look forward to celebrating with them at the Governors Awards in November.”
After making his motion picture debut at the age of eight, Chan brought his childhood training with the Peking Opera to a distinctive international career. He starred in – and sometimes wrote,...

Every year, industry folks lobby the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with their candidates for honorary Oscar winners at the annual Governors Awards. And sometimes they get their way. Over the years Mike Kaplan, a publicists branch Academy member, has successfully lobbied for Lillian Gish, Robert Altman and John Ford’s favorite actress Maureen O’Hara, who happily collected her gold man the year before she died.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Board of Governors voted Tuesday night on the 2016 (un-televised) Governors Awards, which often including the coveted producer’s award, the Thalberg, and the Hersholt humanitarian award. You know what they’re looking for: someone who is still respected — if not revered. Francis Ford Coppola, John Calley and Dino DeLaurentiis have collected the Thalberg in recent years; Harry Belafonte, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Oprah Winfrey and Angelina Jolie have accepted the Hersholt.

This weekend is shaping up to mirror early fall, when specialty distributors packed theaters with new titles. Many of those disappeared quickly, and this weekend could be similar as companies usher in about a dozen limited-release theatrical newcomers. Focus Features’ The Theory Of Everything, however, has amassed a good amount of attention. Directed by Oscar winner James Marsh (Man On Wire), the Stephen Hawking biopic is opening two months after its Toronto debut. Two notable nonfiction titles also join the fray this weekend: Cinema Guild’s Actress, from director Robert Greene, and Zipporah Films’ National Gallery by nonfiction maverick Frederick Wiseman. Both deserve attention as the awards-race heats up. Two years after the theatrical bow of Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, the 16th U.S. President is the focus of Amplify’s The Better Angels — though it focuses a very different phase of his life. Distrib Films is opening Italian political...

At a brisk 180 minutes, National Gallery is hardly one of Frederick Wiseman’s documentary marathons, but it still brims with ideas. After the classrooms in At Berkeley (2013), here the incredibly spritely octogenarian filmmaker focuses on the halls of the National Gallery in London, and contemplates ways of looking, storytelling, and, through this, the nature of cinema itself.
While, as always, the structuring device of the film is the institution of the museum, here Wiseman feels more playfully direct in his editing process—though never didactic. In shooting details of paintings, cutting between oil painted visages and the flesh one of the guests, and capturing the gallery’s gesticulating guides, Wiseman points the audience time and again to the different ways we perceive the world, be in through art, film, poetry or dance.

Distributor picks up UK & Ireland rights to Frederick Wiseman’s documentary [pictured].
Soda Pictures has acquired National Gallery for the UK and Ireland.
Frederick Wiseman’s behind-the-scenes look at the National Gallery receives its world premiere in Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes.
Eve Gabereau, managing director of Soda Pictures, commented: “The film is a work of art in itself and is at once highly entertaining and totally immersive. It will make for great event cinema too in the way it brings one of the most important art institutions in the world to the big screen, allowing viewers great insight into a closed world.”
“Soda did a great job with La Danse. We are confident that they are going to do the outmost to bring the film to a wide UK audience,” added Daniela Elstner, managing director of Doc & Film.

Exclusive: Documentary captures life in besieged Syrian city of Homs through work of rebel female video reporter.
Paris-based sales company Doc & Film International has picked up sales on Silvered Water, Syria Self-Portrait ahead of its out of competition premiere in Cannes.
It is co-directed by exiled Syrian director Ossama Mohammed in Paris and Wiam Bedirxan, a female video journalist filming events on the ground in the besieged city of Homs.
The film was born out of an Internet chat between Mohammed and Bedirxan, in which she asked: “If you’re camera were in Homs, what would you film?”
The end result is a film combining Bedirxan’s material with other footage shot by video reporters in the city, sometimes sent to Mohammed in Paris directly, other times culled from YouTube or social media sites.
Mohammed has been living in exile in Paris since 2011, having become persona non grata back home after openly denouncing the regime of Syrian...

51st New York Film Festival (Sep 27-Oct 14). Here's Glenn discussing At Berkeley and American Promise.
As an Australian living in America I have had to watch quite a few movies set in Us schools. Frivolous comedies or hard-hitting dramas and everything in between and I still find a lot of it entirely baffling. At this year’s Nyff I have been able to get a couple of very comprehensive looks at the system thanks to doco legend Frederick Wiseman’s At Berkeley and American Promise from husband and wife filmmaking team Joe Brewster and Michele Stephenson. Together they provide an illuminating look at the American education system from kindergarten right on through to college. As they should since together they total a gargantuan six hours!
The 83-year-old Wiseman isn’t exactly shy of long runtimes, but even compared to the recent 134-minute Crazy Horse and 159-minute La Danse his latest is quite an effort.

Frederick Wiseman's broad canvas epic At Berkeley, a bipartite portrait of the complex, living organism that is a public university in California, is a characteristically wide-ranging yet pinpoint exploration of the dynamic between people and an organization. "Education" in 2010, when the documentary was filmed, is what unites the system with its participants, a large and abstract calling awkwardly defined in the film's first scene by a teacher trying to explain what makes the mission of the University of California Berkeley different from that of East Coast Ivy League school. The term is replete with meanings moral, ideal, practical, and theoretical, and is only further complicated by Wiseman splitting his story between the administrators meeting and discussing budgets, tuition, campus policing, tenure policies and teachers benefits, and classrooms where the students engage with a range of topics from poetry and political science leadership to institutional racism and advanced astronomy.

The great American documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman (Titicut Follies, La Danse) arrived at this year’s Venice Film Festival along with his latest work, At Berkeley. A monumental, 244-minute exploration of the famous California university, it emerges as a rigorous, deeply insightful institutional study, and a hymn to the power of open communication, particularly in the context of modern-day America. Following the film’s world premiere on September 2nd, Wiseman, looking spry at 83, took to the stage to address the audience. Filmmaker Magazine was on hand to capture the highlights.

#49. Frederick Wiseman’s At Berkeley
Gist: “For the past five weeks, with over 100 hours of film footage, famed documentarian Frederick Wiseman has been working to make Uc Berkeley the subject of his 39th film…[and he] expects to continue working for another five weeks, collecting a total of 200 to 250 hours worth of material.” – September, 2010. Originally drawn to Uc Berkeley’s academic reputation and complexity, Wiseman intends for this documentary – the first made about the campus – to place “particular emphasis” on the management of the university, his footage ranging from freshmen moving into dorms to football games to department meetings.
Prediction: Made to be aired on PBS, we wouldn’t be at all surprised to see the great documentarian return to the Fortnight, where his 2010 Boxing Gym had its premiere. Wiseman doesn’t seem to be very picky with his festival, unveiling his films pretty much wherever is most convenient (La Danse bowed in Venice,...

Pina Directed by: Wim Wenders Featuring: Regina Advento, Malou Airaudo, Ruth Amarante Written by: Wim Wenders Being a fan of both documentaries and the work of German filmmaker Wim Wenders, I went into Pina with the hopes that my absolute distaste for modern dance might be tempered by some great filmmaking and an interesting story. Unfortunately, as Pina's tagline states, this is 'a film for Pina Bausch by Wim Wenders' and not a film for Jay Cheel. Be warned, if you don't like modern dance or ballet, Pina might not be for you. The film focuses on the work of its title character/subject, Pina Bausch. It seems Wenders assumes that most people watching the film might be coming in with a basic knowledge of Pina and her work. Either that or he simply doesn't care, which is sort of respectable I suppose. I personally had no idea...

Chicago – Frederick Wiseman doesn’t pretend to be an expert on the locations that he explores in his documentaries. It’s his meticulous attention to detail during production that makes the audience feel as if they are truly immersed in the environment of Wiseman’s films. Only during the editing process does the director find the meaning within the images.
Wiseman’s approach to nonfiction cinema is utterly organic and often very revealing. His formidable filmography, comprised of 37 documentaries and two fiction works, began with 1967’s “Titticut Follies,” which took a brutally frank and vital look at the abuse inside the Massachusetts Correctional Institution Bridgewater. The director’s repeated study of disturbing subject matter led some of his peers, such as Errol Morris, to deem his work “misanthropic,” but Wiseman insists that’s not the case. His latest film, “Crazy Horse,” pays exuberant tribute to the dancers of the titular...
