Frederick Wiseman Masterclass At Stranger Than Fiction
07 Sep 2005 :

Frederick Wiseman

Screen Training Ireland have announced acclaimed documentary filmmaker, Frederick Wiseman, will host a director’s masterclass as part of the 2005 Stranger Than Fiction Documentary Festival and Market on the 2nd of October.

Experienced documentary filmmakers are invited to join the masterclass to hear some invaluable advice from Wiseman, who is considered by many to be the most important American documentary filmmakers of the past three decades.

Law professor turned filmmaker, Wisemans credits include the 2001 hit film 'Domestic Violence' and 'Ballet' (1993). An undeniable master of his craft, he functions as producer, director, and editor of all of the films. He has lectured at Boston University and Harvard and his documentaries have won numerous awards, including several Emmys and a Dupont Award.

The masterclass will begin with a screening of Wiseman’s film ‘Titicutt Follies’ at 11am. Later Mr Wiseman will discuss the "direct cinema" tradition of documentary filmmaking, which emphasizes continued filming, as unobtrusively as possible, of human conversation and the routines of everyday life, with no music, no interviews, no voice-over narration, and no overt attempt to interpret or explain the events unfolding before the camera. The masterclass will then focus on the inception, funding, production and distribution of his work. Dun Laogahire IADT's Donald Taylor Black will facilitate the workshop.
