From the strained public systems of Hospital (1969) and Welfare (1975)\, to the changing neighborhood of In Jackson Heights (2015) and a public library redefining its purpose in Ex Libris (2017)\, these films collectively register nearly fifty years of a city continually remaking itself. \nOpening Wiseman’s New York\, this conversation asks what drew Wiseman back to the city again and again\, and what his singular approach to observation allowed him to capture as it changed around him. How do transformations in public life\, political power\, gentrification\, technology\, and the city’s institutions become visible across this body of work? And what can we learn from the extraordinary range of New Yorkers who populate these films\, from high schoolers to doctors\, librarians\, civil servants\, artists\, and activists? \nJoin Genevieve Yue\, Arlin Golden\, Shawn Glinis & John Wilson for a lively opening conversation on Wiseman’s New York\, the city he documented across half a century\, and what his films can still teach us about how to observe and understand it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”147742″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text] \nWatch the conversation between Presenter1\, Presenter2 and Presenter 3 on the UnionDocs’ Membership hub. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#ffffff” outline_custom_hover_background=”#adadcc” outline_custom_hover_text=”#0000cd” shape=”round” align=”center” css_animation=”bounceIn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nBios \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”164166″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””]Genevieve Yue is an associate professor of culture and media at The New School.

This event is part of our 10 day program\,  Wiseman’s New York\, where we invite participants into an immersive survey and set of seminars on Wiseman’s New York films alongside visits to the institutions\, neighborhoods\, and civic spaces they document. \nOver the course of his six-decade career\, the late\, great filmmaker Frederick Wiseman returned to New York more than any single location. He made nine films in the city. In early works like Hospital (1969) and Welfare (1975)\, he addressed the plight of some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. Later films show a city in the midst of transition\, including creeping gentrification in In Jackson Heights (2015) and a public library system redefining its purpose in an era of digitization in Ex Libris (2017). \nHospital (1969) shows the daily activities of a large urban hospital with the emphasis on the emergency ward and outpatient clinics. The cases depicted illustrate how medical expertise\, availability of resources\, organizational considerations\, and the nature of communication among the staff and patients affect the delivery of appropriate health care. \nCome through![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nProgram \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nHospital\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]1970\, 84 MINUTES\, B&W[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”147742″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text] \nWatch the conversation between Presenter1\, Presenter2 and Presenter 3 on the UnionDocs’ Membership hub. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#ffffff” outline_custom_hover_background=”#adadcc” outline_custom_hover_text=”#0000cd” shape=”round” align=”center” css_animation=”bounceIn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nBios \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”164166″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””]Genevieve Yue is an associate professor of culture and media at The New School.
