March 17 @ 6:45 pm11:59 pm

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see one of master documentarian Frederick Wiseman’s lesser-screened but highly regarded films with an introduction by co-host of the Wiseman Podcast, Shawn Glinis.

Profiling Manhattan’s Zoli Management Inc., an exclusive modeling agency for men and women, Model shows the inner workings of the agency; at their offices, prospective models arrive with portfolios of their work, though most are sent away with advice on how to most effectively market their particular look.

Insulated from the city around them, the few who are hired shoot television commercials and magazine ads, attend parties, pose on runways during fashion shows and answer reporters’ questions. Art and commerce collide in a “microcosm of American life we have all more or less slavishly copied” (The Guardian), presenting a probing and humorous view of the intersections of fashion, business, advertising, photography, television and fantasy.

 

Featuring an introduction by Shawn Glinis, co-host of Wiseman Podcast.

Presented in partnership with Toronto film programming collective Bleeding Edge.
