We’re delighted to co-present a special screening of Frederick Wiseman’s In Jackson Heights (2015) at Maysles Documentary Center! 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.

Over 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).

Frederick Wiseman’s 40th documentary In Jackson Heights is about the racially and ethnically diverse neighborhood of Jackson Heights in Queens, New York. In Jackson Heights won the 2015 New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Non-Fiction Film.
