Special Screenings
Frederick Wiseman Program

This special program features the work of Frederick Wiseman, which continues to depict various aspects of contemporary America through a variety of angles. The U.S. Army, beef, animal experimentation, and the site of welfare . . . This could be an opportunity to view an “America” different from the one we’re familiar with. Don’t miss this chance.
