John Wilson: “Real life is just naturally funny”

John Wilson is a documentary filmmaker and the creator and director of How To with John Wilson, a humorous documentary series that chronicles the everyday lives of ordinary New Yorkers. His ability to film mundane scenes and characters and tell extraordinary, human and amusing stories has made him a cult figure. In this “CCCB Interview”, Wilson reveals what lies behind his approach to making documentaries: he turns obsessions into fascinations, finds depth in lightness, walks around the city, watches, observes, listens and whenever he can, takes out his camera and records what happens in front of him. This interview is conducted by the film maker Jorge Tur Moltó and the film editor Ariadna Cebrián.
