THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE

USA | 2026 | DCP| 101 mins.
Director: John Wilson
Unsure of what to do after the conclusion of his essential HBO show How To With John Wilson, first-person filmmaker John Wilson enrolls in a workshop on how to create the perfect Hallmark movie. He then attempts to apply what he’s learned to a new project: a documentary about concrete. This omnipresent, overlooked building material leads him down a mind-bending array of rabbit holes. With his signature mix of inquisitive wonder, alert street photography, and witty, free-associative editing, Wilson unerringly finds funny and roundabout avenues into the profound. (MK)
