Film / Media Fred Wiseman, Too, Has a Twitter Meme

Posted by Mark Asch on Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 3:29 PM

As we mentioned earlier today, MoMA has just kicked off a major retrospective of Fred Wiseman, the documentarian behind High School, Basic Training, State Legislature, and nearly three dozen more films, all direct-cinema immersions in the experiential and organizational life of unique American institutions. So, in the grand tradition of movie nerds on social media, here is the hott new Twitter meme, #unmadewisemans.

Our favorite future Fred Wiseman films thus far suggested include Off Track Betting, East 6th Street Indian Restaurant, and Jersey Shore. I myself would love to see his Summer Camp, Bodega, Sleeper Cell, Duck Hunt, and, why not, Adventureland. You?

No, really, he's good. Look at all these photos of his paintings that he tweeted.
