John Wilson to Be Special Guest at Visions du Réel Documentary Film Festival
U.S. filmmaker John Wilson will be a special guest of the 55th edition of Visions du Réel documentary film festival.
Pastiching the video tutorials ubiquitous on social media, the show proposes a series of life lessons on trivial themes that border on the absurd, such as “How to Cook the Perfect Risotto,” “How to Put Up Scaffolding” and “How to Clean Your Ears.” “Without ever distracting from the highly entertaining premise of his project, John Wilson implicitly questions the human condition, the absurdity of existence, and the complexity of the modern world in a set of remarkably effective DIY wild goose chases.” Welcoming a filmmaker such as John Wilson is both a great honor and an incredible opportunity to showcase a singular and original body of work: joyful, personal, droll, collaborative and highly contemporary, all with cinephile eye.”
