Premiere screening. New Farm Cinemas & Tower Cinemas Newcastle. Limited event screenings: October 9 & 10 featuring a very special pre-recorded post screening Q&A between director John Wilson and Australian comedian and film critic Alexei Toliopoulos. Tickets also include a special collectible A3 poster and a bag of “make your own concrete” mix. Following the finale of his TV series, filmmaker John 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.
