After giving relatable instructions on mundane topics in his
successful series How to with John Wilson, the American documentary
filmmaker and producer struck festival gold with his first
feature-length documentary. The History of Concrete takes the
omnipresent material as a thematic prism to explore very different
kinds of structures, industrial, sociological, and emotional. After
premiering at Sundance and packing movie theaters at Copenhagen's
CPH:DOX, the tragicomical doc is now at Visions du Réel. Just after
the Q&A of his sold-out screening, John Wilson found time for
an interview with Lidanoir, talking the challenges of independent
filmmaking, his desillusioned feelings about the titular material,
and making the most unfunny things comical.
