RIP Fred Wiseman, one of documentary's true master RIP Fred Wiseman, one of documentary's true masters. 🕯

In films like Titicut Follies,  National Gallery, In Jackson Heights, and Menus-Plaisirs: Les Troisgros, his observational eye and appreciation for institutional intricacies (and how to critique them) inspired us to savour every second of a film.  May #Wisemanesque films stand the test of time!
