If you don’t know documentarian Fredrick Wiseman, you should. Wiseman has an absurdly prolific career, having directed dozens of documentaries since 1967. His first, Titicut Follies<\/i>, is a incisive look at the American mental health system and the state of asylums in the 60s (we frequently recommend this one to faculty). His next film, National Gallery<\/i>, a documentary about the British art museum of the same name, has already been hailed as a masterpiece. This is the director’s thirty-ninth<\/i> film, and for this special occasion, Wiseman is coming to DC to show it off.<\/p>\n

National Gallery<\/i>, which runs for a staggering three hours, will play at the AFI Silver theater in Silver Spring for one week starting this Friday, November 14th<\/a>. And at two showings on the 14th and 15th, Fredrick Wiseman will stop by for a Q&A. This is a rare chance to meet and to speak with a titan of documentaries.<\/p>\n

Given the high-profile guest, you’ll likely need to secure tickets in advance for this one. Head over to AFI Silver’s website to purchase them early.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
