Join the Edmonton Jewish Film Festival in the grand Capitol Theatre at Fort Edmonton Park for this special film.
This loving tribute to Gene Wilder celebrates his life and legacy as the comic genius behind an extraordinary string of film roles, from his first collaboration with Mel Brooks in The Producers, to the title role in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, to his inspired on-screen partnership with Richard Pryor in Silver Streak. It is illustrated by a host of touching and hilarious clips and outtakes, home movies, narration from Wilder's audiobook memoir, and interviews with a roster of brilliant friends and collaborators like Mel Brooks and Alan Alda. Remembering Gene Wilder shines a light on an essential performer, writer, director, and all-around mensch.
