Jacob Burns Film Center: Remembering Gene Wilder
Remembering Gene Wilder is a heartfelt tribute to the beloved star of such movie classics as The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Brought to life through never-before-seen home movies and photographs, as well as the intimate insights of friends and colleagues, including Mel Brooks, Alan Alda, Carol Kane, Harry Connick Jr., Rain Pryor, Gene’s wife Karen Wilder, and Peter Ostrum, who portrayed “Charlie” in one of Gene’s most memorable films, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
Remembering Gene Wilder premiered at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills and won the Best Picture Award at the Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival. It is slated for a nationwide release later this year.
Plus a pre-recorded Q&A with director Ron Frank moderated by Bruni Barres.
