Remembering Gene Wilder

Remembering Gene Wilder

Presented by Hot Docs at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema

This loving tribute to Gene Wilder celebrates his life and legacy as the comic genius behind an extraordinary string of film roles, from the enigmatic title role in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (playing on Sunday, April 7) and his inspired partnership with Mel Brooks in legendary comedies like Young Frankenstein (playing on Friday, April 5).

The film is illustrated by a bevy of touching and hilarious clips and outtakes, never-before-seen home movies, narration from Wilder’s audiobook memoir, and interviews with a roster of brilliant friends and collaborators like Mel Brooks, Alan Alda and Carol Kane. Remembering Gene Wilder shines a light on an essential performer, writer, director and all-around mensch.

Gene Wilder Forever: Join us for a loving tribute to the great Gene Wilder, featuring a new documentary and two of his most memorable roles.
