The Somerville Theatre is honored to take part in a regional celebration of legendary local documentarian Frederick Wiseman. This wide-ranging retrospective will feature a selection of films spanning decades of the iconic filmmaker’s prolific career, including many of the 33 classics newly restored in 4K following a five-year restoration process by Zipporah Films and overseen by Wiseman.
Throughout his nearly six-decade career, Wiseman has been steadily and unflinchingly chronicling institutional life in America and abroad. Below are the films screening at Somerville Theatre.
