	Abenaki Recognition: An Analysis of Articles & Reports
		Fred Wiseman's paper entitled, "Erasing Ethnic History in the Green Mountain State," was presented to the Northeastern Anthropological Association on March 23, 2003.
		While Wiseman's attempt to create contempt for the government and sympathy for the Abenakis will surely be a success in front of the members of the Northeastern Anthropological Association, I doubt his comparisons would have the same "success" in the eye of the general public.
		Despite Wiseman's hypocrisy, his paper does introduce the reader to the legitimate concept of ethnocide, the "attempt to modify and sometimes destroy the culture of a specific group." If the statements he makes are, in fact, true, this would be a compelling paper.

		Wiseman is not an expose film maker in the sense of someone who has a defined agenda based on a specific injustice that they plan to expose.

		I proposed that Wiseman’s films “map” the “Foucauldian” disciplinary regime of the micro-institutions of power/knowledge as Foucault preeminently charts it in Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison.
		Wiseman’s films are sites of disappearance, of the denegation of the real, sites where the silence of the implied author is akin to that of Baudrillard’s mass, which is the perfect medium for the disappearance of the individual.
		Wiseman’s express wish to remove what he calls the “proscenium arch” separating the viewer from the experience by removing voice-over narration is suggestive of this over-proximity, of the evacuation of the scene of theatre.

		Of course, we had no idea that Wiseman's institutional series would continue for over three decades and that his reputation would grow to the point where many critics and scholars, especially Europeans, consider Wiseman one of the best American filmmakers of his generation.
		Wiseman documentaries invite their viewers to consider the institutions on display and to debate the complexities and absurdities of institutional life.
		And it's not just because HIGH SCHOOL is Wiseman's most compact film (running at 75 minutes compared to what became a common running time of three hours or more).

	Review: Belfast, Maine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In this marathon four-hour-long "reality fiction", as he calls his documentaries, Fred Wiseman threads together a scrapbook of images from Belfast, Maine, a small town where the landscapes are lovely, the pace slow and the people working class.
		Edits are made reluctantly - Wiseman wants to let the people of Maine tell their own story, whether they be fishermen, flower-arrangers, pyschiatric patients, forestry workers, hunters or the village activists lobbying on planning policy at the town hall meeting.
		Wiseman is so discreet and committed to letting everyone have a say that viewers used to the cut and thrust of modern documentary filmmaking may soon nod off.
