Description

[Machine Translation] The film is a theatrical blockbuster that depicts the hidden behind-the-scenes of the New York Public Library, one of the world's largest "Halls of Knowledge"! The film features many celebrities such as Dr. Richard Dawkins, Elvis Costello, and Patti Smith, but the camera takes us behind the scenes inside the library, where tourists are never allowed to enter, and only staff are allowed. The librarians and volunteers, the executives' meetings...you won't want to miss this unique look at the library! Directed by master documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, who won an Honorary Academy Award in 2016. A living legend, Wiseman shows why this library is the most famous in the world and tells what public and democratic city council means. What is the most famous library in the world-the New York Public Library ( NYPL )? The New York Public Library is a network of 92 libraries, including the main building, the Steven A. Schwarzman Building, located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan and famous as a tourist attraction for its majestic Beaux-Arts architecture, four research libraries open for research purposes, and 88 community-based branches. The main building was completed in 1911, and additional branch libraries have been added at various locations through donations from Andrew Carnegie and others. The library boasts one of the world's largest collections of books in the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts, with a total of 60 million items. Membership is free of charge and open to anyone who lives or works in New York City. Although the name "public" is used in the title, the museum is an independent corporation financially supported by the city and private donations. The word "public" here does not mean "public" but rather "public" (open to the general public).

Description in Japanese

ニューヨーク公共図書館 エクス・リブリス / 洋画

世界最大級の<知の殿堂>ニューヨーク公共図書館の知られざる舞台裏を描いた、劇場大ヒットの話題作! 映画には、リチャード・ドーキンス博士、エルヴィス・コステロやパティ・スミスなど著名人も多数登場するが、カメラは図書館の内側の観光客は決して立ち入れないSTAFF ONLYの舞台裏を見せていく。司書やボランティアの姿、幹部たちの会議・・・ここでしか見られない図書館の姿は必見! 監督は2016年にアカデミー名誉賞を受賞したドキュメンタリーの巨匠 フレデリック・ワイズマン。まさに"生ける伝説"であるワイズマンがこの図書館が世界で最も有名である理由を示し、公共とは、民主市議とは何かを伝える。 ≪世界で最も有名な図書館―ニューヨーク公共図書館(NYPL)とは?≫ ニューヨーク公共図書館とは、マンハッタン五番街と42丁目との交差点に位置し、荘厳なボザール様式建築によって観光名所としても名高い本館<スティーブン・A・シュワルツマン・ビル>と、研究目的のために公開されている4つの研究図書館、そして地域に密着した88の分館を合わせた92の図書館のネットワークである。1911年に本館が竣工し、アンドリュー・カーネギーらの寄付により、各所に分館を増設してきた。人文科学、社会科学、及び、美術において世界有数の蔵書を誇り、総計6,000万点ものコレクションが所蔵されている。利用は原則として無料であり、ニューヨーク市に在住あるいは勤務している者であれば誰でも会員になることができる。 名称に「パブリック (public)」と入っているが、独立法人であり、財政的基盤は市の出資と民間の寄付によって成り立っている。ここでいうパブリックとは「公立」という意味ではなく、「公共」(一般公衆に対して開かれた)という意味に当たる。
