The History of Concrete – Encore Screenings

Thanks to a number of sold-out previews, we're bringing John Wilson's The History of Concrete back to the big screen for an encore.

Following the finale of his TV series, Wilson looks to the bedrock of his beloved New York City for inspiration and structure. Concrete, the world's most widely used building material, appears as an ever-present life force, and John sets out to make the definitive documentary on the matter. To tell this seemingly drab story, he decides to use the industry-approved Hallmark formula to increase his movie's appeal. But his foundation soon begins to crumble—literally and figuratively—as he struggles to balance artistic freedom with the realities of the modern film industry.

Don't miss these encore screenings of the most inventive documentary of the year, followed by a pre-recorded Q&A with director John Wilson, screening from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October.
