Frederick Wiseman, the prolific film-maker whose documentaries primarily explored US public institutions and communities, has died aged 96. His death on Monday was announced in a joint statement from the Wiseman family and his production company, Zipporah Films. “For nearly six decades, Frederick Wiseman created an unparalleled body of work, a sweeping cinematic record of contemporary social institutions and ordinary human experience primarily in the United States and France,” the statement read. “His films – from Titicut Follies (1967) to his most recent work, Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros (2023) – are celebrated for their complexity, narrative power and humanist gaze.”
