We mourn the loss of our dear friend Frederick Wiseman (1930-2026), a singular human with a singular genius for capturing humanity - and Film Forum’s most-premiered filmmaker 🕯️

Across a filmmaking career spanning more than five decades, Frederick Wiseman – who has died at 96 – refined a uniquely austere, quietly radical form of documentary cinema bfi.org.uk/features/frede…

Frederick Wiseman simply is one of the greatest filmmakers ever. He mined his worlds and always found the things that make us uniquely human. Gonna listen to the Dangling Conversation.

FREDERICK WISEMAN has died at 96. A giant of non-fiction filmmaking. His work reshaped documentary form itself, setting a standard that remains unmatched. An absolute legend.
