Always memorable to hear the master film maker Frederick Wiseman speak about his work. @thenyff @filmlinc #ACouple #frederickwiseman #nathalieboutefeu https://www.instagram.com/p/CjafnCnuGJM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Venezia79: con #Uncouple (A couple) il regista #FrederickWiseman da voce ai diari e ai carteggi che Leo e Sofia Tolstoj si scrivevano anche se vivevano nella stessa casa. Un racconto evocativo sulle gioie e i dolori della loro vita insieme, tra conflitti e riconciliazioni. "Un couple è stato girato in ventitré giorni, nel maggio del 2021, nel giardino La Boulaye, sull’isola di Belle Île. La troupe consisteva di sei persone e un’attrice. Le scene sono state girate sulle scogliere, sulle spiagge e nel giardino in piena fioritura primaverile. Gli animali, gli insetti, i fiori, gli alberi e i suoni del giardino sono anch’essi protagonisti del film, che altrimenti è un monologo." #VeniceFilmFestival #BiennaleCinema2022 #Concorso #SalaGrande #PalaBiennale #SalaDarsena #SalaPerla https://www.instagram.com/p/CiAZW0Esefy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On Tuesday, September 12, come see filmmaker Frederick Wiseman at FIT. We'll be showing his 1980 film MODEL, and I'll be interviewing him and moderating a Q&A afterwards. This event begins at 6:30 and will likely sell out, so please DM me ASAP if you want to go! Portrait by Robert Whittington. #wiseman #frederickwiseman #fredwiseman #documentary #model #film #movie #movies #legend #academyawards #zipporah #like4like #likeforlike #followforfollow #follow4follow (at New York, New York)

The movie includes footage from these bizarre performances by the blank-faced or bewildered inmates (just one of many ways the institution thrust them into awkward or demeaning situations). Frederick Wiseman, a lawyer, spent nearly a month filming at Bridgewater, where he often brought his law students from Boston University to observe a complex aspect of the justice system. Although Wiseman secured all the necessary permissions while shooting, the state of Massachusetts ultimately went to court to block the film’s release, citing patient privacy. Just as likely, Wiseman argued at the time, was that the state hoped to prevent outcry over inhumane treatment by the facility’s guards, social workers and psychiatrists. In 1968, a judge ordered all copies of the film destroyed. Wiseman appealed that decision to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and, as a result, only medical, legal and social worker professionals or their students could legally view the film for more than two decades. “Titicut Follies” became the first film banned in the United States for reasons other than obscenity or national security. It was finally released publicly after yet another court decision in 1991. Despite being banned for 22 years, the film inspired reforms in Massachusetts and beyond. It helped officials recognize that people with mental illnesses should never be warehoused."
