Public Housing

Event Name:	Public Housing
Description:	Frequently referred to as ‘a genre unto himself’ and ‘one of the greatest nonfiction filmmakers who ever lived’, Wiseman’s novelistic take on the documentary form sees him capture hundreds of hours of footage using only a tiny crew, before editing a fraction of these candid observations into feature films with structure and rhythm, that tell stories and open windows onto worlds and situations. In Public Housing, widely acclaimed as one of Wiseman’s greatest works, the director turns his lens on the community of Chicago’s Ida B. Wells housing estate. A portrayal of architecture in both its physical and social forms, the film watches its residents as characters in an urban set, in an unfolding conversation with their environment.
