Wiseman – a Living Legend

If anyone deserves to be honoured for his life long oeuvre it is Frederick Wiseman, who yesterday at the opening of idfa in Amsterdam received an award, specially created for the occasion, including €5000. An example for all documentary makers, said festival director Ally Derks in her speech, and I would add that for me Wiseman is the man who as the best American novelists has shown that there is another America than we normally meet in the media.
