Even the most whimsical of fictions gives evidence of the culture that produced it and reproduces the likenesses of the people who perform within it. In fact, we could say that there are two kinds of film: (1) documentaries of wish-fulfillment and (2) documentaries of social representation. Each type tells a story, but the stories, or narratives, are of different sorts.1 Wie Bill Nichols in obigem Zitat treffend zum Ausdruck bringt, gibt es keine scharfe Trennungslinie zwischen Dokumentarfilm und Spielfilm. -
COM 321, Documentary Form in Film & Television
1 COM 321, Documentary Form in Film, Television, & Interactive Media Notes from and about Barnouw’s Documentary: A history of the non-fiction film 11. Documentarist as. Observer Definition(s): [British] Free Cinema—A series of showings at London’s National Film Theater, 1956-58 with films by such filmmakers as Lindsay Anderson (primarily known for his narrative films If. ., O Lucky Man), Karel Reisz & Tony Richardson (primarily known for his narrative films The Entertainer, Tom Jones), and Georges Franju (see below); characterized by filmmakers acting as observers, rejecting the role of promoter; made possible by new, light film equipment that allowed an intimacy of observation new to documentary (including both sound and image). [American] Direct Cinema—A term coined by filmmaker Albert Maysles, this is another type of “observer” documentary that attempts to limit the apparent involvement of the filmmaker, using little or no voiceover narration, no script, and no “setting up” subjects (stagings) or reenactments. As David Maysles has indicated, “direct” means “there’s nothing between us and the subject.” Following the British Free Cinema, the American Direct Cinema took advantage of the new, maneuverable 16mm film equipment; after a series of experiments, a wireless synchronizing sound system for this equipment was developed by the Drew Unit at Time, Inc. The main Documentarists: Robert Drew, Ricky Leacock, D. A. Pennebaker, David & Albert Maysles (and associates), Frederick Wiseman. The influence of Direct Cinema has been felt around the world (e.g., prominent films from Holland, Japan, India, Sweden, Canada). [French] Cinema Verite—According to Barnouw, this term is reserved for films following Jean Rouch’s notions of filmmaker as avowed participant, as provocateur (as what Barnouw calls catalyst), rather than the cool detachment of the Direct Cinema. -

The Poetry of Reality: Frederick Wiseman and the Theme of Time
THE POETRY OF REALITY: FREDERICK WISEMAN AND THE THEME OF TIME Blake Jorgensen Wahlert, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2019 APPROVED: Harry M. Benshoff, Major Professor George Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Melinda Levin, Committee Member Eugene Martin, Chair of the Department of Media Arts David Holdeman, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Wahlert, Blake Jorgensen. The Poetry of Reality: Frederick Wiseman and the Theme of Time. Master of Arts (Media Industry and Critical Studies), May 2019, 86 pp., reference list, 74 titles. Employing a textual analysis within an auteur theory framework, this thesis examines Frederick Wiseman’s films At Berkeley (2013), National Gallery (2014), and Ex Libris (2017) and the different ways in which they reflect on the theme of time. The National Gallery, University of California at Berkeley, and the New York Public Library all share a fundamental common purpose: the preservation and circulation of “truth” through time. Whether it be artistic, scientific, or historical truth, these institutions act as cultural and historical safe-keepers for future generations. Wiseman explores these themes related to time and truth by juxtaposing oppositional binary motifs such as time/timelessness, progress/repetition, and reality/fiction. These are also Wiseman’s most self-reflexive films, acting as a reflection on his past filmmaking career as well as a meditation on the value these films might have for future generations. Finally, Wiseman’s reflection on the nature of time through these films are connected to the ideas of French philosopher Henri Bergson. -

Frederick Wiseman tourne Titicut Follies, son premier film, dans une prison d’État psychiatrique et atteste de la façon dont les détenus sont traités par les gardiens, les assistants sociaux et les médecins à l’époque. Ce que révèle le film lui a valu d’être interdit de projections publiques aux États-Unis pendant plus de 20 ans. Témoin discret et vigilant des institutions, Frederick Wiseman pose, avec Titicut Follies, les bases de ce qui fait son cinéma depuis 50 ans. Lesquelles ? filmés, comme dans tous les autres Si je réponds à cette question, il faut documentaires. Nous tournions à trois que j’explique le film et je n’aime pas personnes. -

La victime : le cinéaste iranien Mohammad Rasoulof dont nous avions programmé Un homme intègre (Le titre est déjà un positionnement fort). Ce film pourtant récompensé à Cannes 2017 a depuis, valu de graves ennuis à son auteur et le 22 juillet de cette année il vient même d’être condamné à un an de prison ferme par l‘état iranien pour "atteinte à la sécurité de l’Etat" ! Il y aurait de quoi rire si cela ne se soldait par une telle sanction. A l’heure qu’il est, il a encore la possibilité de faire appel de ce jugement inique… Dans le même temps et toujours à fin juillet - moment où sont écrites ces lignes – Le nouveau chef d’état ukrainien propose aux Russes d’échanger la libération du cinéaste Oleg Sentsov dont nous vous avions parlé l’an dernier au moment de sa grève de la faim, contre celle d’un journaliste russe emprisonné en Ukraine.

Al Borde De La Realidad
32 MINERVA 13.10 Frederick Wiseman (Boston, 1935) es uno de los fundadores del documental moderno. Ha rodado más de treinta películas sobre el funcionamiento de las instituciones públicas estadounidenses –colegios, cárceles, hospitales, psiquiátricos…– asociadas a la corriente del cine directo o cinéma verité, aunque Wiseman no se siente cómodo con esa etiqueta: no cree en la objetividad y dice que sus filmes tienen «estructura dramática». Desde que debutó en 1967 con la controvertida Titicut Follies, Wiseman ha producido todas sus películas, emitidas en la televisión pública estadounidense (PBS), una de las principales fuentes de financiación de sus proyectos. Invitado por el Festival Internacional de Documental de Madrid, Wiseman pasó por el Cine Estudio del CBA para dar una clase magistral a un grupo de alumnos de cine. Más tarde, Minerva le entrevistó para repasar algunas claves de su filmografía. El siguiente texto es un extracto de algunas de las declaraciones hechas por Wiseman durante la charla y la entrevista. al borde de la realidad ENTREVISTA CON FREDERICK WISEMAN TEXTO CARLOS PRIETO IMAGEN MINERVA Y ZIPPORAH FILMS UN DEBUTANTE INESPERADO Trabajo a un ritmo de película por año desde 1967. El resultado fi- nal de todo este proceso es un film larguísimo, de más de noventa horas, sobre la vida contemporánea en EE UU vista a través de sus instituciones públicas. Sólo he abandonado los escenarios de mi país para rodar tres obras en Francia, porque me gusta vivir en París. He hecho películas sobre instituciones como la policía, el ejército o las escuelas. La primera, Titicut Follies (1967), está roda- da en una prisión/hospital para delincuentes con problemas men- tales: el Massachussets Correctional Institution de Bridgewater.
