FREDERICK WISEMAN: DIRECTOR FOCUS & FILMOGRAPHY RANKING


What I try to do is edit the films so that they will have a dramatic structure. That is why I object to some extent to the term "observational cinema" or cinéma vérité, because observational cinema, to me at least, connotes just hanging around with one thing being as valuable as another, and that is not true.
