Boxing Gym directed by Frederick Wiseman

The ITVS-funded Boxing Gym by acclaimed filmmaker Frederick Wiseman starts its national theatrical run this Friday, October 22 at the IFC Center in New York. Wiseman’s hypnotic new film is about an Austin, Texas institution: Lord’s Gym, which was founded 16 years ago by professional boxer Richard Lord.

People of all ages, races, ethnicities, and social classes come to Lord’s — doctors, lawyers, judges, businessmen, and kids all learn to spar alongside fellow amateurs and trained professionals. Wiseman depicts the gym as a uniquely American melting pot and a microcosm of our society.

Opening week will feature a Q&A with director Frederick Wiseman, boxing demos, and much more. Click here for additional info and release dates.
