Filmmaker Frederick Wiseman has spent his career documenting the vast and textured experiences of social institutions and the lives that occupy them. Uncovering the survival of a traditional institution and its evolution in the digital age, Wiseman’s latest work focuses on the New York Public Library—though it could as easily be about New York itself. 2017, DCP, 197 minutes.
