At Berkeley

Life At UC Berkeley

The University of California at Berkeley, the oldest and most prestigious member of a ten campus public education system, is also one of the finest research and teaching facilities in the world. The film, AT BERKELEY, shows the major aspects of university life, its intellectual and social mission, its obligation to the state and to larger ideas of higher education, as well as illustrates how decisions are made and implemented by the administration in collaboration with its various constituencies.

Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival. Winner of the CICT-UNESCO Enrico Fulchignoni Award and the Silver Mouse at the Venice Film Festival.

"Frederick Wiseman's AT BERKELEY isn't only a study of the contemporary American university, but, like all of the filmmaker's best documentaries, a wide-ranging inquiry into the larger institutions and contradictions that define life in the United States." - Andrew Schenker, SLANT

"It's a state-of-the-nation masterwork, a vitally important piece of work, and should be seen by as many people as possible." - Oliver Lyttleton, The Playlist
