Description

[Machine Translation] Welcome to City Hall for Citizens. The latest work by Frederick Wiseman, the master of "New York Public Library Ex Libris". The challenges of Boston City Hall, which provides police, fire, health, birth, marriage, and death records, and hundreds of other services. --Frederick Wiseman, a living legend in the documentary world, chose Boston City Hall in Massachusetts, the birthplace of Wiseman, as the setting for his new film. The camera aloofly enters the building and moves around the city with the people of the City Hall. What is shown is a behind-the-scenes look at the work of City Hall, which provides hundreds of different services, including police, fire, health and sanitation, senior citizen assistance, birth, marriage, and death records. Leading Boston, a metropolis of diverse races and cultures, is Mayor Martin Walsh ( United States Secretary of Labor since March 23, 2021), a working-class native with Irish immigrant roots, who, amidst the fragmentation overtaking the United States in 2018-19 ( here in the United States We cannot solve our problems. But when one city changes, the impact changes the country. ), we see the possibility of a city hall for its citizens through the challenges of the mayor and his staff.

Description in Japanese

ボストン市庁舎 / 洋画

ようこそ、市民のための市役所へ。『ニューヨーク公共図書館 エクス・リブリス』の巨匠フレデリック・ワイズマン最新作。警察、消防、保健衛生、出生、結婚、死亡記録、数百種類ものサービスを提供するボストン市役所の挑戦。 ――ドキュメンタリー界の"生ける伝説"フレデリック・ワイズマンが選んだ新作の舞台は、ワイズマン生誕の地でもあるマサチューセッツ州のボストン市庁舎。カメラは飄々と市庁舎の中へ入り込み、市役所の人々とともに街のあちこちへ動き出す。そこに映し出されるのは、警察、消防、保健衛生、高齢者支援、出生、結婚、死亡記録など、数百種類ものサービスを提供する市役所の仕事の舞台裏。多様な人種・文化が共存する大都市ボストンを率いるのは、アイルランド移民のルーツを持つ労働者階級出身のマーティン・ウォルシュ市長 (2021年3月23日よりアメリカ合衆国労働長官に就任)。2018~19年当時のアメリカを覆う分断化の中、「ここではアメリカ合衆国の問題を解決できません。しかし、一つの都市が変われば、その衝撃が国を変えてゆくのです。」と語る市長と市職員たちの挑戦を通して「市民のための市役所」の可能性が見えてくる。
