  • Filmat în: New York City și Manhattan

Model is a 1981 American documentary film directed by Frederick Wiseman. The film examines the modeling industry in New York City. It was Wiseman's ninth documentary for WNET, a New York PBS station.

Production

The film was shot in 1979 and 1980 on black-and-white film. Wiseman selected the Zoli agency simply because "the idea of a model agency appealed to me ... and [Zoli] agreed."

Wiseman did not research the modeling industry before filming, and described the editing process as discovery: "It is all a surprise since I know very little about the subject before I begin shooting. The idea is that the film should at least in part show what I learned as a consequence of the shoot and the long period of editing."
