STREAMING in our Virtual

28th at 10 AM
General Admission $8
The Cinema Arts Centre is
pleased to offer a special online series of films and conversations from the
American documentarian Frederick Wiseman. Sinai Field Mission is the second installment in
this three-week series leading up to our online run of Wiseman’s latest
picture, City Hall.
SINAI FIELD MISSION documents the routine
activities of the diplomats and electronic technicians who operate the United
States Sinai Field Mission, the early warning system established in 1976 to
help carry out the disengagement agreement between Egypt and Israel following the
1973 war. (1978, USA, 127 min, English | dir. Frederick Wiseman)
The film is followed by a conversation between
Wiseman and Academy Award-winning film-maker Errol Morris.
Wiseman gives us a
community. We sense the isolation, the harsh climate, the numbing drudgery of
the paperwork… by filming the story of Sinai Field Mission from the inside out,
by incorporating all of the elements that make it up rather than a rote
narrative of what it does and how it came to be, Frederick Wiseman has once
again brought an issue into focus. And we know and care a little bit more
because of it. – James Brown, Los Angeles Times
