The History of Concrete – Special Event Screenings

We're cracking open a slab for our special event screenings of the most inventive documentary of the year, John Wilson's The History of Concrete. 

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.

These special screenings include a complimentary beer on arrival, a promo pack that includes a poster and make-your-own concrete set, a pre-recorded introduction and post-film Q&A with John Wilson and film critic/comedian Alexei Toliopoulos.

Only on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 October. Book now.
