Overview
Our new virtual cinema will allow us to continue sharing curated, cinematic gems with you by bringing the art house directly into your home while also helping support O Cinema.
WEDNESDAYS WITH WISEMAN SERIES
Over his six-decade career, documentarian Frederick Wiseman has established himself as one of the preeminent chroniclers of American social, cultural, and political institutions. Foregoing narration and conventional plot, Wiseman’s immersive, essayistic films use patient observation and episodic structure to undertake penetrating studies of their subjects. Building towards the release of his epic new film CITY HALL, this series showcases select highlights from the director’s filmography, paired with exclusive recorded conversations between Wiseman and other leading documentarians.
BALLET
Originally released in 1995, this documentary opens a window into New York City’s prestigious American Ballet Theatre—its relentless rehearsals, its administrative gears, the lives of its dancers and instructors, and finally, its public performances.The film is accompanied by an exclusive, pre-recorded conversation between director Frederick Wiseman and documentarian Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi (FREE SOLO).
