America's greatest living filmmaker, Frederick Wiseman, returns to the city of New York after the Queens borough collage IN JACKSON HEIGHTS (2015) with another opus that looks at a dense, living ecosystem, seeing it as a embodiment of an American ideal and struggle. Where the great documentarian’s 2015 picture surveyed the melting pot of the Jackson Heights neighborhood, finding within an exemplary diversity of race, nationality, religion and sexual orientation, all inextricably intertwined with threats of gentrification, discrimination, and commercialization, Wiseman’s new work, EX LIBRIS, explores New York’s public library system to find a complex, contradictory model for democratic thought.
