Renowned filmmaker John Wilson to grace Visions du Réel Documentary Film Festival as special guest. Wilson, best known for HBO’s “How to With John Wilson,” will have a public discussion and curate a film program. Known for his offbeat approach, his show explores daily life in New York through quirky detours.
In “How to With John Wilson,” he presents life lessons on trivial themes, sparking meetings with strangers. His work questions the human condition and the complexity of the modern world. Emilie Bujès, artistic director of the festival, describes Wilson’s work as joyful, personal, and highly contemporary.
The festival will feature screenings of episodes from the HBO series and earlier works. The full program will be announced on March 19. This is an incredible opportunity to showcase Wilson’s original and collaborative body of work and explore the spectrum of non-fiction cinema.
