This is America at 250: Frederick Wiseman

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America, who better to show us how we live and have lived than Frederick Wiseman? The film version of Mark Twain, Wiseman’s films cover all corners of the country, from a zoo in Miami, communities in Maine and Indiana, a boxing gym in Austin, law enforcement in Kansas City, high schools in Philadelphia and New York, and schools for the blind and deaf in Alabama. With all titles now available in gloriously restored DCPs, 2026 marks a perfect inflection point to look at ourselves.
