              The History of Concrete

              John Wilson / United States / 2026 / International Premiere / 101 min

              The man behind the beloved HBO series ‘How To with John Wilson' makes his feature film debut with a hilarious and quirky exploration of a fundamental element of city life: concrete.

              A film about concrete may not sound like the most entertaining thing imaginable. But if you know John Wilson, who visited CPH:DOX in 2022 with his show ‘How To with John Wilson’, you know that he can find the strangest and most absurd truths in the most mundane things. And on that note: Welcome to a film about concrete that is one of the most entertaining things imaginable!

              After a workshop on how to write and sell feel-good films for television, Wilson has tried to use the same formula to sell a documentary about … concrete. He meets a man who specialises in removing chewing gum from pavements and some dedicated joggers who run in circles around a single block of flats in Queens. But Wilson also gets led astray, and before he knows it, he’s having dinner with Kim Kardashian.

              ‘History of Concrete’ is a curious and quirky observational comedy that no one else could have made. Because people are strange – and who else but Wilson could turn something as heavy, grey and dusty as concrete into something so entertaining and profound?
