Frederick Wiseman: Central Park
Advertisement
A fascinating portrait of those involved in maintaining Manhattan’s green space.
Although this study of New York’s landmark green space touches on challenges faced by the city’s Park’s Department, greater emphasis is given to the varied ways people engage with it.
The abiding tone is celebratory, and alongside the more typical sports and recreational pursuits, we witness a turtle rescue, a moving AIDS memorial and a Coppola film shoot.
This screening will be introduced by Dr. Des O'Rawe, senior lecturer in Film Studies at Queen's University, Belfast.
With a groundbreaking career spanning seven decades, Frederick Wiseman is one of the great American storytellers. Cinema Expanded - The Films of Frederick Wiseman is a comprehensive season of the documentarian’s work, taking place throughout 2026.
