  1. Frederick Wiseman (born January 1, 1930) is an American filmmaker, documentarian, and theater director. His work is primarily about exploring American institutions. In 2017, The New York Times called him "one of the most important and original filmmakers working today".

    • 1963-present
    • Titicut Follies (1967) Wiseman’s first feature film was almost his last when the Massachusetts Supreme Court moved for an injunction against its release.
    • Essene (1972) In contrast to the oppressive rigour of Wiseman’s earlier subjects – including High School (1968) and Basic Training (1971) – this investigation into an organised social structure is tender and serene, revolving around the activities of a Benedictine monastery.
    • Primate (1974) Among Wiseman’s funniest films – “a riot,” he deadpanned – Primate is also one of his most chilling. At the Yerkes Primate Research Centre, Wiseman fixes his camera behind rows of chain-link fencing, stuck at a hopeless impasse between the humans’ total lack of empathy and monkeys stripped of their agency.
    • Welfare (1975) Strung out between Five Easy Pieces (1970) and The Driller Killer (1979), Welfare is one of the great movies of American existentialism – a Sisyphean dispatch from the broken frontier.
