John Wilson in conversation with Louis Theroux

John Wilson – creator of the HBO hit ‘How To with John Wilson’ – returns to Copenhagen for a very special evening at the Bremen Theater. CPH:DOX will screen his feature film debut ‘The History of Concrete’, followed by a talk with John Wilson on stage in conversation with documentarist Louis Theroux.

With his unique eye for the absurd in everyday life, Wilson has created his own documentary genre, where quirky observations from the concrete industry unfold into both laughter and reflection. A film about concrete may sound grey, but in Wilson’s camera it becomes funny, strange and surprisingly profound.

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.
