Wiseman, Frederick,

Wiseman practiced and taught law for about a decade, but his real interests lay elsewhere.

He has also occasionally made fictional works: The Stunt Man (1980), Seraphita's Diary (1982), and The Last Letter (2002). In 2016 he received an honorary Academy Award.

Wiseman, Frederick

(1930– ) documentary filmmaker; born in Boston, Mass. After teaching law, he turned to making his own distinctive kind of documentaries, starting with Titicut Follies (1967) and continuing through a long series that focused on American institutions, such as Model (1980), and then increasingly on broader experiences, as in Near Death (1989). The hallmark of a Wiseman documentary is its apparently nonintrusive ability simply to record on film and in sound the minutiae of the subject and to leave all interpretation to the viewer. He formed his own film company and in later years accepted commissions from television companies and other organizations.
