On Feb. 20, New York City’s Lincoln Center for Performing Arts hosted a screening of Frederick Wiseman’s 1968 documentary, “High School.” The film, which is credited as one of the first direct cinema (or cinéma vérité) documentaries, follows the lives of students and faculty at a Pennsylvania high school. Filmed and released in the 60s, the film highlights the dictator-like role the school’s faculty held over the students, and explores the abysmal results of that treatment.
