Boston, Jan. 1, 1930, makes controversial documentary films about public, tax-supported institutions, through which he reveals the more general attitudes of U.S. society. Wiseman's free-form, nonnarrative method involves filming hours of footage in which no one is told how to act and subsequently creating a structure through extensive editing. Wiseman made his first film, Titicut Follies (1967), at a Massachusetts institution for the criminally insane; his later films include High School (1968), Law and Order (1969)--which portrays the police--Hospital (1970), and Welfare (1975).
