At a glance

Belfast, Maine is a 1999 documentary film directed by Frederick Wiseman, exploring the town of Belfast, Maine. It runs for 248 minutes and is in English. Zipporah Films is the production company. The film is listed as a United States documentary, making it a long-form portrait centered on one Maine town. Its subject is the place itself, rather than a named individual or a specific event in the supplied description. Viewers can use the town-focused premise to decide whether they want an extended documentary about a community. The title identifies the location at the heart of the film, while Wiseman's direction and the English-language presentation are useful details for viewers and for classroom selection. The listed runtime makes this a substantial viewing commitment, and its 1999 release places it in the late twentieth century.
